To solve 12x÷4y, first, let's evaluate the products on both sides of the ÷ symbol, we know that x = -8, then we have:


12*(-8)=-96

We have -96 on the left side of the ÷ symbol.

We know that y = 3, then, on the right side, we have:


4*3=12

Then, we have 12 on the right side of the ÷ symbol, now the expression looks like this:

-96 ÷ 12. what we have to do is to divide -96 by 12, then we get:


-96\text{ }/12=(-96)/(12)=-8

Then, the answer is 8
