The answer is three.

Explanation:

  1. x/4 = 12/4 = 3.
  2. 6(x-12) = 6(12-12) = 6(0) = 0
  3. 3+0=3

Answer:

3

Explanation:

Evaluate x/4 + 6 (x - 12) where x = 12:

x/4 + 6 (x - 12) = 12/4 + 6 (12 - 12)

Hint: | Reduce 12/4 to lowest terms. Start by finding the GCD of 12 and 4.

The gcd of 12 and 4 is 4, so 12/4 = (4×3)/(4×1) = 4/4×3 = 3:

3 + 6 (12 - 12)

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

12 - 12 = 0:

6×0 + 3

Hint: | Any number times zero is zero.

0×6 = 0:

0 + 3

Hint: | Simplify the expression.

Write 3 + 0 as 3:

Answer: 3
