To simplify the expression, we distribute the -12 across the terms in the parentheses:

-12(b+2) + 3b = -12*b - 12*2 + 3b

Simplifying further:

=-12b - 24 + 3b

Now, we combine like terms:

= -9b - 24

Thus, the simplified expression is -9b - 24.

To simplify the expression, we distribute the -1/2 across the terms in the parentheses:

-1/2(b+2) + 3b = (-1/2*b) + (-1/2*2) + 3b

Simplifying further:

= -1/2b - 1 + 3b

Now, we combine like terms:

= (3b - 1/2b) - 1

Now, we find a common denominator and combine the fractions:

=(6b - 1)/(2b) - 1

= (6b - 1 - 2b)/(2b)

= (6b - 2b - 1)/(2b)

= (4b - 1)/(2b)

Thus, the simplified expression is (4b - 1)/(2b).

Simplifying further:

= -1/2b - 1 + 3b

Now, we can combine like terms:

= (3b - 1/2b) - 1

Now let's find a common denominator and combine the fractions:

= (6b - 1)/(2b) - 1

= (6b - 1 - 2b)/(2b)

= (4b - 1)/(2b)

Therefore, the simplified expression is (4b - 1)/(2b).

The property demonstrated in the given equation is the associative property of addition. This property states that, when adding or subtracting multiple numbers, the grouping of the numbers can be changed without affecting the result. In this case, the grouping of (4+x) and 2y is changed to (x+2y), showing the associative property of addition.

The expression that represents the phrase "8 less than the quotient of 5 and a number" is 5/n - 8. This is because the quotient of 5 and a number n is represented by 5/n, and then subtracting 8 from it gives us "8 less than the quotient of 5 and a number".
