How do you simplify #\frac{(3(-2-1)^{2}+4)(3-2\times (-2))}{3^{-1}(3^{2}+3)}#?

1 Answer

#-31/4#

Explanation:

Applying PEDMAS

#\frac{(3(-2-1)^2+4)(3-2\times(-2))}{3^{-1}(3^2+3)}#

#=\frac{(3\times 9+4)(3-4)}{3^{-1}(9+3)}#

#=\frac{(27+4)(-1)}{3^{-1}(9+3)}#

#=\frac{(31)(-1)}{3^{-1}(12)}#

#=-\frac{31}{1/3(12)}#

#=-\frac{31}{4}#
