Answer 1

$\text{Hello there!}\\\\\text{Solve the equation:}\\\\2^{-2}\left(12\cdot 3\right)-5^3\\\\0.25(12\cdot3)-5^3\\\\0.25(36)-5^3\\\\9-5^3\\\\9-125\\\\\large\boxed{-116}$

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of the provided expression is -116.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided expression.

$2^{-2}\cdot (12\cdot 3)-5^3$

The above expression can be written as:

$\frac{1}{2^2}\cdot (36)-5^3$

$\frac{1}{4}\cdot (36)-125$

$9-125$

$-116$

Hence, the value of the provided expression is -116.
