When simplifying an expression with a negative exponent, you take a positive version of the exponent, in this case that would be 2, and apply that to the base.
After doing that, we have 9.
The next step is to put one over that number.
In this case, now after doing that the answer is

Option 2.
1. Simplify 7 + (12 - 9) + 7 × 3(8 - 5)
According to the Order of Operations, contents of parentheses are evaluated first. This gives
... 7 + 3 + 7 × 3 × 3
Then multiplication and division are performed left to right.
... = 7 + 3 + 21 × 3
... = 7 + 3 + 63
Followed by addition and subtraction left to right.
... = 10 + 63
... = 73
A Google search box can be relied upon to do the operations in the correct order.

2. When the expression is rewritten, a different result is obtained. This is because the operations indicated by the second set of parentheses are altered.
... (7 + 12) - 9 + (7 × 3)8 - 5
... = 19 - 9 + 21 × 8 - 5
... = 19 - 9 + 168 - 5
... = 10 + 168 - 5
... = 178 - 5
... = 173
In the first expression, both +8 and -5 are multiplied by 21. In the rewritten expression, only +8 is multiplied by 21.
