1. **State the problem:** We need to find the equation of line G that passes through the point (8, 11) and is parallel to the line given by $$y = 3(4x + 3)$$.
2. **Rewrite the given line's equation:** Simplify the given line's equation to the slope-intercept form $$y = mx + c$$.
$$y = 3(4x + 3) = 12x + 9$$
Here, the slope $$m = 12$$.
3. **Important rule:** Parallel lines have the same slope. So, line G also has slope $$m = 12$$.
4. **Use the point-slope form:** The equation of a line with slope $$m$$ passing through point $$(x_1, y_1)$$ is
$$y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$$
Substitute $$m = 12$$ and $$(x_1, y_1) = (8, 11)$$:
$$y - 11 = 12(x - 8)$$
5. **Simplify:**
$$y - 11 = 12x - 96$$
$$y = 12x - 96 + 11$$
$$y = 12x - 85$$
6. **Final answer:** The equation of line G in the form $$y = mx + c$$ is
$$y = 12x - 85$$.
