Given:

Means
+
-
÷
×
Check each options: 
Option A: 5 ÷ 12 × 4 – 3 + 8 = 6
New equation: 
5 + 12 ÷ 4 × 3 − 8 = 6
=  5 + 3 × 3 − 8
= 5 + 9 - 8
= 14 - 8
= 6 = 6 (Follow)
Option B:  6 ÷ 8 × 6 – 2 + 9 = 4 
New equation: 
6 + 8 ÷ 6 × 2 − 9 = 4
= 6 + 1.33 × 2 − 9
= 6 + 2.67 - 9
= 8.67 - 9 
= 0.33 \not= 4
Option C:5÷12×4–3+8=55 ÷ 12 × 4 – 3 + 8 = 5 5 ÷ 12 × 4 – 3 + 8 = 5
New equation: 
5 +12 ÷ 4 × 3 − 8 = 5
= 5 + 3 × 3 − 8
= 5 + 9 - 8
= 14 - 8 
= 6 \not= 5
Option D: 6 ÷ 8 × 6 – 2 + 9 = 8 
New equation:
6 + 8 ÷ 6 × 2 − 9 = 8
= 6 + 1.33 × 2 − 9
= 6 + 2.67 - 9
= 8.67 - 9 
= - 0.33 \not= 8
So, the correct equation is Option A
Thus, the correct option is: (a)
