Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify.

$\displaystyle \frac{x}{4} + 3y$

x = 12

y = 2

Step 2: Evaluate

1. Substitute in variables:                                                                                $\displaystyle \frac{12}{4} + 3(2)$
2. [Order of Operations] Divide:                                                                      $\displaystyle 3 + 3(2)$
3. [Order of Operations] Multiply:                                                                   $\displaystyle 3 + 6$
4. [Order of Operations] Add:                                                                             $\displaystyle 9$
