Answer:

12 - 3 y ÷ 2 + y( 2 y - 4 ÷ y ) = 21.51.

Explanation:

Here, the given expression is:

12 - 3 y ÷ 2 + y( 2 y - 4 ÷ y )

Now, we need to evaluate the given expression for y = 3

12 - 3 y ÷ 2 + y( 2 y - 4 ÷ y ) by the rule of BODMAS

12 - 3 y ÷ 2 + y( 2 y - 4 ÷ y ) = 12 - 3(3) ÷ 2 + 3(2(3) -4 ÷ 3)

= 12 - 9 ÷ 2 + 3( 6 - 4 ÷ 3)

= 12 - 9 ÷ 2 + 3( 6 - 4 ÷ 3)

= 12 - 4.5 + 3( 6 - 1.33)

= 7.5 + 3(4.67)

= 7.5 + 14.01

= 21.51

So, 12 - 3 y ÷ 2 + y( 2 y - 4 ÷ y ) for y = 3 is 21.51.
