Answer: 112
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we were given m and n, we plug them into the expression and solve.
-2(-6)+4(-5)² [exponent]
-2(-6)+4(25) [multiply]
12+100 [add]
112
Now, we know that the value of the expression is 112.
16 pieces may be cut. This is because we need to divide 36 by 2 and 1/4 to find how many pieces hat can be cut. First, we need to change everything into a fraction (or improper fraction). 2 and 1/4 = 9/4 (if you need help trying to find out how to get this, just ask). Then, since we are doing division, we flip the 9/4 around to get 4/9. 36 times (it's not dividing anymore since we flipped the 9/4) 4/9 = 16 pieces. I hope this helps! :D
