Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

The given rational expression is [tex]\frac{12-x}{x-6}[/tex]

In order to find the value of the expression when x = 3, substitute x=3 in this expression.

[tex]\frac{12-3}{3-6}[/tex]

On simplifying numerator and denominator, we get

[tex]\frac{9}{-3}[/tex]

This fraction can be simplified and we get

[tex]-3[/tex]

Hence, the value of the expression at x =3 is -3
