To simplify the expression 4(3b), you need to apply the distributive property of multiplication. The distributive property states that when you have a number or expression multiplied by a group of terms inside parentheses, you can distribute the multiplication to each term individually.
In this case, you have 4 multiplied by the term 3b inside parentheses. To simplify, you multiply 4 by each term inside the parentheses.
So, you would multiply 4 by 3, which equals 12, and multiply 4 by b, which gives you 4b. Therefore, the simplified expression is 12b.
