We have a dilemma here, there is a variable and constant numbers in this equation. No fear, this is when like terms comes into play, where you can only combine two numbers that have the same ending, whether it be variables, exponents, e.t.c.
Distribute :
4 + 16 - 12(1 + 2x)
4 + 16 - (12(1) + 12(2x))
4 + 16 - 12 + 24x
Use PEMDAS (Add left to right) :
4 + 16 - 12 + 24x
20 - 12 + 24x
8 + 24x
24x + 8
