Here is the equation:
[tex] 4(3x+2) [/tex]
Since 4 is next to the parentheses, you have to multiply everything in the parentheses by 4.
First multiply 3x by 4:
[tex] 3x \times 4 = 12x [/tex]
Now multiply 2 by 4:
[tex] 4 \times 2 = 8 [/tex]
Now add them together:
[tex] 12x+8 = 12x +8 [/tex]
Your answer is 12x + 8
