Multiply to get -12y.

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.

To simplify the expression -3(4y), you can distribute the -3 to both terms inside the parentheses.

Distribution is the process of multiplying each term inside the parentheses by the value outside the parentheses.

So, -3(4y) can be rewritten as -3 * 4y.

To find the product, you multiply -3 by 4 and y remains as it is.

(-3) * 4 = -12

Therefore, -3(4y) simplifies to -12y.
