Question

Need help on this one

Answer 1

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify this expression, we will simply work with the numerator, then the denominator, and then the fraction as a whole, following PEMDAS.

Numerator:  12 - 6 + 5 * (-3)^2

= 12 - 6 + 5 * (9)

= 12 - 6 + 45

= 6 + 45

= 51

Denominator:  17

So our simplified fraction is as follows:

51/17

Which can be reduced to the whole number, 3.

Cheers.
