Solve (12-x/2)div3*4

$$( 12 - \frac { x } { 2 } ) \div 3 \times 4$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{2x}{3}+16$$

Short Solution Steps

To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Multiply 12 times \frac{2}{2}.

$$\frac{\frac{12\times 2}{2}-\frac{x}{2}}{3}\times 4$$

Since \frac{12\times 2}{2} and \frac{x}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{\frac{12\times 2-x}{2}}{3}\times 4$$

Do the multiplications in 12\times 2-x.

$$\frac{\frac{24-x}{2}}{3}\times 4$$

Express \frac{\frac{24-x}{2}}{3} as a single fraction.

$$\frac{24-x}{2\times 3}\times 4$$

Multiply 2 and 3 to get 6.

$$\frac{24-x}{6}\times 4$$

Express \frac{24-x}{6}\times 4 as a single fraction.

$$\frac{\left(24-x\right)\times 4}{6}$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 24-x by 4.

$$\frac{96-4x}{6}$$

Expand
