$$3 - x - 12$$

Differentiate w.r.t. x

$-1$

Steps Using Derivative Rule for Sum

Subtract $12$ from $3$ to get $-9$.

$$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(-9-x)$$

The derivative of a polynomial is the sum of the derivatives of its terms. The derivative of a constant term is $0$. The derivative of $ax^{n}$ is $nax^{n-1}$.

$$-x^{1-1}$$

Subtract $1$ from $1$.

$$-x^{0}$$

For any term $t$ except $0$, $t^{0}=1$.

$$-1$$
