GPT-4o mini
To simplify the expression \( (2 + 1)(x - 4) \), you can first simplify the constant term:
\[
2 + 1 = 3
\]
Now, substitute back into the expression:
\[
3(x - 4)
\]
Next, distribute the 3:
\[
3x - 12
\]
So, the simplified form of the polynomial \( (2 + 1)(x - 4) \) is:
\[
3x - 12
\]
\[
2 + 1 = 3
\]
Now, substitute back into the expression:
\[
3(x - 4)
\]
Next, distribute the 3:
\[
3x - 12
\]
So, the simplified form of the polynomial \( (2 + 1)(x - 4) \) is:
\[
3x - 12
\]
