Answer:
3 x (3 + 12 divided by 3) - 4
Do the division first in the parentheses and you get 4.
Do 3 + 4 and that will give you 7.
Do 7 x 3 and that will give you 21.
Then do 21 - 4.
21 - 4= 17.
Therefore, 17 is your answer
Explanation:
Jay's error was that he was supposed to do 12 divided by 3 first in the parentheses because division comes first in BODMAS.
