d) 12x + 24

Answer :

Answer:

d) 12x + 24.

Step-by-step explanation:

3(4x+8)

= 3*4x + 3*8

= 12x + 24.

hello!

The Distributive Property states the following:-

[tex]\bigstar{\boxed{a(b+c)=ab+ac}}[/tex]

So we distribute a by multiplying it times b & c.

Now, let's simplify the given expression:-

[tex]\bigstar{\boxed{3(4x+8)=12x+24}}[/tex]

Hence, Option D) is correct!
