Explanation:

Step 1: Define

3x² - 4(2y - 4/12) + 8

x = 6, y = 2

Step 2: Evaluate

1. Substitute in variables: 3(6)² - 4(2(2) - 4/12) + 8
2. Evaluate exponents: 3(36) - 4(2(2) - 4/12) + 8
3. Multiply: 108 - 4(2(2) - 4/12) + 8
4. (Parenthesis) Multiply: 108 - 4(4 - 4/12) + 8
5. (Parenthesis - Fraction) Simplify: 108 - 4(4 - 1/3) + 8
6. (Parenthesis) Subtract: 108 - 4(11/3) + 8
7. Multiply: 108 - 44/3 + 8
8. Subtract: 280/3 + 8
9. Add: 304/3
