Pick a number
x
Multiply the number by 12
12x
Add 12 to the product
12x%2B12
Divide the sum by 4
%2812x%2B12%29%2F4
Subtract 3 from the quotient
%2812x%2B12%29%2F4-3
%2812x%2B12%29%2F4-3=%2812x%29%2F4%2B12%2F4-3
%2812x%2B12%29%2F4-3=3x%2B3-3
%2812x%2B12%29%2F4-3=3x
Your final number will be 3 times your original number.
