Answer

-4x - 12\text{-4x - 12}

Step-by-step solution

2 steps

  1. Apply the distributive property by multiplying the term outside the parenthesis (−4-4) by each term inside the parenthesis (xx and 3).

    −4(x+3)=−4⋅x+(−4)⋅3-4(x+3) = -4 \cdot x + (-4) \cdot 3

  2. Perform the multiplications.

    −4x−12-4x - 12
