Your answer is: -15.
Explanation:
You have -12 sweets. If John gave you +3 sweets, you would have -9. Seen as he decided to take -3 off you, you are left with -15. Negative numbers count in the opposite direction.
Improved Answer: -12--3 = -9 because --3 is the same as +3

The LCM of 3, 4, 6, and 12 is 12
Assuming 12 p is 12 pence and 3 is 3 pounds ... 0.12/3.00 x 100 =12/3 = 4 Answer: 4 percent
36/12 = 3 12/36 = 1/3
2/3= 2 ÷3= 0.66679/12= 9 ÷12= 0.75therefore, 9/12 is greater than 2/3.
The least common multiple (LCM) of 3 and 12 is 12. Because 12 is a factor of 3, it is automatically the LCM of the set.You can also find the LCM by listing the multiples of each number in the set, and finding the lowest one in each list.The multiples of 3 are 3, 6, 9, 12, and so on.The multiples of 12 are 12, 24, and so on.So the LCM is 12.Another method is dividing the product of the pair of numbers by their GCF.The product of 3 and 12 is 36.The GCF of 3 and 12 is 3. (Since 3 is a factor of 12, it is automatically the GCF of the set).So the LCM is 36/3 = 12.The least common multiple is the smallest number that all the numbers are a factor of. In this case it's 12. This is because 12x1=12 and 3x4=12.The LCM is 12.
