B. 40
C. 51
D. 60
E. 144

Answer 1

There is no value that makes the number sentence true. The correct answer is 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value that makes the number sentence true, we need to solve the equation.

3 + (12 X 4) = 0

First, we need to perform the multiplication:

3 + 48 = 0

Next, we subtract 48 from both sides:

3 = -48

This is not possible, as a positive number cannot be equal to a negative number. Therefore, there is no value that makes the number sentence true. The correct answer is D. 0.
