Step-1 – Order of operations

To evaluate any expression involving more than one operation, follow the below order of operations:

First evaluate expressions inside grouping symbols like parentheses ( ) or brackets [ ].
Evaluate the exponents.
Perform Multiplication and division from left to right.

Perform addition and subtraction from left to right

Step-2 – Solve the expression inside grouping symbols

In order to evaluate the given expression, first substitute 4 for x and then simplify the expression inside the parenthesis first.

So, add the numbers inside the parenthesis to get

$\begin{array}{l} 1.2 (x + 3) \\ = 1.2 (4 + 3) \\ = 1.2 (7) \end{array}$

Step-3 – Multiply and divide from left to right

Now to simplify further, multiply the resulting numbers to get

$\begin{array}{l} 1.2 (7) \\ = 8.4 \end{array}$

Thus, the value of the expression is 8.4.
