14 5/1814518

Explanation:

Count the number of terms first and simplify each term separately.

color(blue)((9 1/3 + 4 1/3) div 6)" "color(red)( - (-12))(913+413)÷6 (12)

=color(blue)((13 2/3) div 6)" "color(red)( +12)=(1323)÷6 +12

=color(blue)(41/3 xx 1/6)" "color(red)( +12)=413×16 +12

=color(blue)(41/18)" "color(red)( +12)=4118 +12

=color(blue)(2 5/18)" "color(red)( +12)=2518 +12

= 14 5/18=14518
