-12xz/(3y)+12z (squared)/x
x=-4 y=-2 z=1\2
----------

If that's not what you meant, you need to add parentheses to make it clear.
=
= (-4*-4*(1/2)/(-2) + 12*(1/4)/(-4)
= 8/(-2) + 3/(-4)
= 16/(-4) + 3/(-4)
= 19/(-4)
= -19/4

-12xz/(3y)+12z (squared)/x
x=-4 y=-2 z=1\2
-----------------------------
Substitute:
-12(-4)(1/2)/(3*-2) + 12*(1/2)^2 /(-4)
---
24/(-6) + 12*(1/4)/-4
---
Question: It is hard to tell what the "x" is the denominator of.
So I'm just going to leave it there. Hopefully you know what it
is deviding.
-------
= -4 + 3/(-4)
