[tex]\bigstar[/tex] To simplify this expression, Multiply 11 (the number outside the parentheses) by every term
inside the parentheses, as follows:-
[tex]\text{$(11\times12)+(11\times u)$}[/tex]
Simplifying,
[tex]\text{132+11u}[/tex]
[tex]\Uparrow\textsf{Our simplified expression (with the help of the distributive property)}[/tex]
Please note that we cannot simplify this any further, because [tex]\textbf{132 and 11u are not like terms.}[/tex]

Hey there!
11(12 + u)
= 11(12 + 1u)
DISTRIBUTE 11 WITHIN the PARENTHESES
= 11(12) + 11(1u)
= 11(12) + 11(u)
= 132 + 11u
= 11u + 132
Therefore, the answer should be:
11u + 132
Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
