To simplify the expression \( 4\sqrt{3} + 2\sqrt{48} \), we first simplify \( \sqrt{48} \):
\[
\sqrt{48} = \sqrt{16 \times 3} = \sqrt{16} \cdot \sqrt{3} = 4\sqrt{3}
\]
Now, substitute \( \sqrt{48} \) back into the expression:
\[
2\sqrt{48} = 2 \cdot 4\sqrt{3} = 8\sqrt{3}
\]
Now we can add the two terms:
\[
4\sqrt{3} + 8\sqrt{3} = (4 + 8)\sqrt{3} = 12\sqrt{3}
\]
The final answer in simplest radical form is:
\[
\boxed{12\sqrt{3}}
\]
\[
\sqrt{48} = \sqrt{16 \times 3} = \sqrt{16} \cdot \sqrt{3} = 4\sqrt{3}
\]
Now, substitute \( \sqrt{48} \) back into the expression:
\[
2\sqrt{48} = 2 \cdot 4\sqrt{3} = 8\sqrt{3}
\]
Now we can add the two terms:
\[
4\sqrt{3} + 8\sqrt{3} = (4 + 8)\sqrt{3} = 12\sqrt{3}
\]
The final answer in simplest radical form is:
\[
\boxed{12\sqrt{3}}
