Answer:

7x + 4y + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Please be more explicit regarding your goal.  "What is ... " could be interpreted in several ways.  I will assume you meant, "What is the simplest form of 3x + 4(x + 2) + 4y?"  Finally, please use the regular character, " x, " when you mean a variable and use the character " × " for multiplication.

What is the simplest form of 3x + 4(x + 2) + 4y?  Do the indicated multiplication.  We get:  3x + 4x + 8 + 4y, which in turn is 7x + 4y + 8.
