To simplify the expression \((2 + 1)(x - 4)\), we can first simplify the constant term:
\[
2 + 1 = 3
\]
Now, we can substitute this back into the expression:
\[
3(x - 4)
\]
Next, we can distribute the \(3\) across the terms in the parentheses:
\[
3 \cdot x - 3 \cdot 4 = 3x - 12
\]
So, the final result of simplifying \((2 + 1)(x - 4)\) is:
\[
3x - 12
\]
\[
2 + 1 = 3
\]
