ANSWER
[tex]12(17q + 19) = 204q + 228[/tex]
EXPLANATION
The given expression is:
[tex]12(17q + 19)[/tex]
Recall the distributive property,
If a, b, and c are real numbers, then
a(b+c)=ab+ac
We apply this property to expand the parenthesis and obtain:
[tex]12(17q + 19) = 12 \times 17q + 12 \times 19[/tex]
[tex]12(17q + 19) = 204q + 228[/tex]
