Answer:

4x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

4*x + 4*3 = 4x + 12

  • Notice what has happened. The plus sign remains.
  • The 4 multiplies by both the x and the 3

That's as far as you can take the problem. You cannot reduce it any further or combine it in any way. The reason is that the x has a 4 in front of it and the 12 has no x.

When those terms are separated by a plus or minus sign, the terms are not the same. Unlike terms cannot be combined.
