[tex]\boxed{(3 \ * \ X) \ + \ (3 \ * \ 4)}[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{3x \ + \ 12}[/tex]
[] Explanation []
Distributive Property:
[tex]a(b \ + \ c) \ = \ (a \ * \ b) \ + \ (a \ * \ c)[/tex]
3(X + 4)
= (3 * X) + (3 * 4)
3 * X = 3x
3 * 4 = 12
= 3x + 12
When using the Distributive Property, you distribute the numbers into another equation. Doing this simplifies the expression making it easer to solve.
