In mathematics, you can use the **distributive property** to remove grouping symbols, such as parentheses. The distributive property states that \( a(b + c) = ab + ac \).
For example, to simplify \( 3(x + 4) \), you would apply the distributive property as follows:
\[
3(x + 4) = 3 \cdot x + 3 \cdot 4 = 3x + 12
\]
If there are multiple grouping symbols, you'll need to apply the distributive property repeatedly as needed.
