For beams with moments, the procedure of determining the support reactions is still the same. The summation of support reactions should be in equilibrium with the force (excluding the moment).
The way to include the moment in the equilibrium equation is to check the direction of rotation with the direction of the support reaction.
By identifying the support reactions, the FBD of the beam becomes:
Starting with the identification of the support reaction at point A, Ray, take the moment of 12kN.m as opposite the rotation for Ray, (negative moment).
Similarly, when moment is taken about point A, notice that the moment is in the same rotation with the reaction at point D, Rd, so the moment takes the sign of the support reaction.
counterclockwise positive to make support reaction positive
