The answer is A
You’d solve the parenthesis first because it’s the first step in PEDMAS so you’d multiply everything in the parenthesis by 1/4. 12 times 1/4 is 3 and -3x times 1/4 is -3/4. (1/4 times -3/1 and you multiply the numerators and denominators) when you put each 3 and -3/4x together you get 3-3/4x
Sorry it’s wordy, I hope it makes sense.
