Hello!

In order to simplify this expression, all we have to do is multiply 3 times the terms inside the parentheses:

3(4x-12yz)

12x-36yz

That's the final answer, because there are no like terms here, so we cannot simplify this expression any further.

Hope everything is clear.

Let me know if you have any questions!
