1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to simplify the algebraic expression 4b3(42b)4b - 3(4 - 2b).

2. Solution Steps

First, we distribute the 3-3 across the terms inside the parentheses:
4b3(42b)=4b3(4)3(2b)4b - 3(4 - 2b) = 4b - 3(4) - 3(-2b)
4b3(42b)=4b12+6b4b - 3(4 - 2b) = 4b - 12 + 6b
Next, we combine like terms. In this case, we combine the 4b4b and 6b6b terms:
4b12+6b=(4b+6b)124b - 12 + 6b = (4b + 6b) - 12
4b12+6b=10b124b - 12 + 6b = 10b - 12

3. Final Answer

The simplified expression is 10b1210b - 12.
