-5/6x +7

A. -15 5/6

B. -3

C. 9 2/3

D. 18 1/16

Answer 1

Answer:

-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
