You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{12 \cdot -3}{4} - \left(\frac{16}{-4} - 3\right)\)

MathBot Answer:

\[\frac{12 \cdot -3}{4} - \left(\frac{16}{-4} - 3\right) = -2\]

\[\begin{aligned}\frac{12 \cdot -3}{4} - \left(\frac{16}{-4} - 3\right)& = 12 \cdot \frac{-3}{4} - \left(- \frac{16}{4} - 3\right)\\& = 12 \cdot - \frac{3}{4} - \left(- \frac{16}{4} - 3\right)\\& = -9 - \left(- \frac{16}{4} - 3\right)\\& = -9 - -7\\& = -9 + 7\\& = -2\end{aligned}\]
