1.)
4+(2)/(x)/(3)+(1)/(6)
To divide by 3, multiply by the reciprocal.
4+(2)/(x)*(1)/(3)+(1)/(6)
Multiply 2 by 1 to get 2.
4+(2)/(3*x)+(1)/(6)
Multiply x by 3 to get 3x.
4+(2)/(3x)+(1)/(6)
To add fractions, the denominators must be equal. The denominators can be made equal by finding the least common denominator (LCD). In this case, the LCD is 6x. Next, multiply each fraction by a factor of 1 that will create the LCD in each of the fractions.
4*(6x)/(6x)+(2)/(3x)*(2)/(2)+(1)/(6)*(x)/(x)
Multiply 4 by 6x to get 24x.
(24x)/(6x)+(2)/(3x)*(2)/(2)+(1)/(6)*(x)/(x)
Multiply 2 by 2 to get 4.
(24x)/(6x)+(4)/(2*3x)+(1)/(6)*(x)/(x)
Multiply 3x by 2 to get 6x.
(24x)/(6x)+(4)/(6x)+(1)/(6)*(x)/(x)
Multiply 1 by x to get x.
(24x)/(6x)+(4)/(6x)+(x)/(x*6)
Multiply 6 by x to get 6x.
(24x)/(6x)+(4)/(6x)+(x)/(6x)
Combine the numerators of all expressions that have common denominators.
(24x+4+x)/(6x)
According to the distributive property, for any numbers a, b, and c, a(b+c)=ab+ac and (b+c)a=ba+ca. Here, x is a factor of both 24x and x.
((24+1)x+4)/(6x)
Add 1 to 24 to get 25.
((25)x+4)/(6x)
Remove the parentheses.

Answer: (25x+4)/(6x)

2).

*Note:*I'm Assuming the "A)" has nothing to do with the equation so here are the steps.*
(1b^(12))/(xc^(12)dx)/(12)
Add 1 to 1 to get 2.
((1b^(12))/(x^(2)))/(12)
Combine all similar variables in the expression.
((1b^(12))/(dx^(2)c^(12)))/(12)
Arrange the variables alphabetically within the expression (1b^(12))/(dx^(2)c^(12)). This is the standard way of writing an expression.
((b^(12))/(c^(12)dx^(2)))/(12)
Multiply the factor by the rest of the expression to remove the fraction from the denominator. To multiply by a factor in the denominator, multiply by 1 over the factor.
(1)/(12)*(b^(12))/(c^(12)dx^(2))
Multiply 1 by b^(12) to get b^(12).
(b^(12))/(c^(12)dx^(2)*12)
Multiply 12 by c^(12)dx^(2) to get 12c^(12)dx^(2).

Answer: (b^(12))/(12c^(12)dx^(2))

Next time, please use parentheses or wrap your expression around three curly braces { { { ... } } } (without spaces) to remove ambiguity. For example,

(4 + (2/x))/(3 + (1/6)), or

(I have to assume this is what you're talking about).

Or, you can learn how to typeset in LaTeX and produce a more professional-looking expression

If you are able to see the "View Source" link, I encourage you to do so to see how to input expressions.

Anyway, if you want to simplify it, start by simplifying the numerator. The numerator is equal to

and the denominator is equal to

Combining them, we obtain
