Which of the following represents a sum from the expression given

3(12x^2 + 7x) - 16

16

12x^2

3

12x^2 + 7x

The expression given is 3(12x^2 + 7x) - 16. To find the sum, we need to simplify the expression.

First, we distribute the 3 to the terms inside the parentheses:

3 * 12x^2 + 3 * 7x - 16

This simplifies to:

36x^2 + 21x - 16

The sum of this expression is 36x^2 + 21x - 16.
