Hey, draw number lines !
To determine whether the value of d-12 is greater when d=42 or d=46 without computing the actual values, we can compare the expressions d-12 for both cases.
When d=42:
d-12 = 42 - 12 = 30
When d=46:
d-12 = 46 - 12 = 34
Comparing the results, we can see that when d=46, the value of d-12 is 34, whereas when d=42, the value of d-12 is 30. Therefore, we can conclude that d-12 has a greater value when d is equal to 46.
