See a solution process below:

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

#4g + color(red)(3)(3 + g) =>#

#4g + (color(red)(3) xx 3) + (color(red)(3) xx g) =>#

#4g + 9 + 3g#

Next, group like terms:

#4g + 3g + 9#

Now, combine like terms:

#(4 + 3)g + 9 =>#

#7g + 9#
