Answer:


\huge\boxed{\boxed{12x+28}}

Explanation:

Hello.

The Distributive Property states that

a(b+c)=ab+ac, where a, b, and c can be constants (numbers) or variables (letters).

Now that we know the formula, it's time to simplify! :)

The expression is:

4(3x+7)

Multiply 4 times 3x and 4 times 7:

4×3x=12x

4×7=28

Put the terms together:

12x+28

Can we simplify this expression? No, because 12x and 28 are not like terms.

And we're done!

I hope it helps & have an outstanding day!
