Exercise 2 Page 231

Distribute the 3 to the terms inside the parentheses.

12+3m

Practice makes perfect

We will begin simplifying by distributing the 3 to the terms inside the parentheses.

3(4+m)

Distribute 3

3(4)+3m

Multiply

12+3m

Since 12 and 3m are not like terms, the expression cannot be simplified further.
