The value of the expression 12 – 4 * 3 / 2 + 9 is 6

Let’s break it down into steps.

First, we have to evaluate the sub-expressions:

12 – 4 * 3 / 2 + 9 = 12 – 12 / 2 + 9 = 6

Next, we can simplify this further by using commutativity and associativity rules:

12 – 4 * 3 / 2 + 9 = (12 – 4) * 3 / 2 + 9 = 7 + 9 = 16

Finally, we add 1 to both sides to get rid of the fractions:

16 + 1 = 17
