See a solution process below:

Explanation:

First, expand the terms in parenthesis by multiplying each term within the parenthesis by the term outside the parenthesis:

9g(2g+g2)+3(g2+4)

(9g×2g)+(9g×g2)+(3×g2)+(3×4)

18g2+(9g3)+3g2+12

18g29g3+3g2+12

Next, group like terms:

9g3+18g2+3g2+12

Now, combine like terms:

9g3+(18+3)g2+12

9g3+21g2+12
