Evaluate the expression shown for x = 12.

-5/6x + 7

A. - 15 5/6

B. - 3

C. 9 2/3

D. 18 1/16

-3 thus the answer is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate 7 - (5 x) / 6 where x = 12:

7 - (5 x) / 6 = 7 - 5/6*12

(-5) / 6*12 = (-5*12) / 6:

(-5*12) / 6 + 7

12/6 = (6*2) / 6 = 2:

7 - 52

-5*2 = - 10:

-10 + 7

7 - 10 = - 3:

Answer: - 3
