means that
you first calculate and ,
and then you divide one expression by the other.
The longer horizontal line between those two expressions tells you so,
although it is confusing.
If you need to type that in one line,
you cannot use long horizontal lines.
You must use parentheses to indicate what you mean, as in
((9+3)/x)/(x/4+1/12) .
Otherwise, it is like scrambling the words of a sentence, and expecting to be understood.

9 plus 3 over x
Over
x/4 plus 1/12
==========================
[(x+3)/x] / [x/4] + [1/12]
----------
= [(x+3)/x] * [4/x] + [1/12]
----------
= [4(x+3)/x^2] + [1/12]
----------
= [12*4(x+3) + x^2]/[12x^2]
----------
= [48x + 144 + x^2]/[12x^2]
----------
= [x^2 + 48x + 144]/[12x^2]
----------
