Question

Can you show me how to combine like terms and distribute
-3(4-12x)

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

Our task is to simplify the following expression:

• 
  `\sf{-3(4-12x)}`

To simplify, we'll apply the distributive property & distribute -3:

-3 * (-4) + (-3) * (-12x)

`\bf{12 + 36x}`

Therefore, our answer is 12 + 36x.

Answer 2

-12 + 36x

Explanation:

Given expression: -3(4 - 12x)

Distribute -3 to each term inside the parentheses:

-3 × 4 + (-3) × (-12x)

Multiply the constants:

-12 + 36x
