Solve 3*(4+y/3)-y

$$3 \times (4+ \frac{ y }{ 3 } )-y$$

Evaluate

$$12$$

Short Solution Steps

To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Multiply 4 times \frac{3}{3}.

$$3\left(\frac{4\times 3}{3}+\frac{y}{3}\right)-y$$

Since \frac{4\times 3}{3} and \frac{y}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$3\times \frac{4\times 3+y}{3}-y$$

Do the multiplications in 4\times 3+y.

$$3\times \frac{12+y}{3}-y$$

Cancel out 3 and 3.

$$12+y-y$$

Combine y and -y to get 0.

$$12$$

Factor

$$2^{2}\times 3$$
