See a solution process below:

Explanation:

Substitute #color(red)(12)# for #color(red)(m)# in the expression and calculate the result:

#-3/4color(red)(m) + 15# becomes:

#(-3/4 xx color(red)(12)) + 15#

#(-3/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(4))) xx cancel(color(red)(12))color(red)(3)) + 15#

#(-3 xx color(red)(3)) + 15#

#-9 + 15#

#6#
