It's 12 because if you divide 36 by 3 (consecutive) it equals 12

If you have three of them, they go in order: 2, 3, 4 and so on.

<span>If the lowest is X then the next two are x + 1 and x + 2. </span>

<span>Though the question asks you to look for the highest, so I'll call that x, so the other two become "x - 1" and x - 2</span>

<span>So if we add them up to get 36, we get: </span>

<span>x + (x - 1) + (x - 2) = 36 </span>

<span>Solving for x: </span>

<span>3x - 3 = 36 </span>
<span>3x = 39 </span>
<span>x = 13 </span>

Answer: $\huge\boxed{\boxed{15}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given expression</u>

$\large\boxed{\frac{12[30 - (9+4^2)]}{|10|-|-6| } }$

<u>Simplify the exponents</u>

$\large\boxed{=\frac{12[30 - (9+16)]}{|10|-|-6| } }$

Simplify values in the parenthesis

$\large\boxed{=\frac{12[30 - 25]}{|10|-|-6| } }$

$\large\boxed{=\frac{12[5]}{|10|-|-6| } }$

<u>Simplify absolute values (all positive)</u>

$\large\boxed{=\frac{12[5]}{10-6 } }$

$\large\boxed{=\frac{12[5]}{4 } }$

<u>Simplify by division</u>

$\large\boxed{=3~[5]}$

<u>Simplify by multiplication</u>

$\huge\boxed{\boxed{=15}}$

Hope this helps!! :)
