We must follow order of operations rules (PEMDAS) here: exponentiation first, followed by multiplication and division, followed by addition and subtraction.
Thus, -2^2-3(-2)+1 becomes:
-[4] + 6 + 1 = 2 + 1 = 3 (answer)
16: 14 - divide by 2
16/2= 8 , 14/2=7
64:60- divide by 4
64/4= 16 , 60/4= 15
Answer: 16:14 and 64:60 are not equivalent.
