Question

Simplify the expression and show work.

Answer 1

Answer:

72/149

Step-by-step explanation:

Just to clarify, the curly braces mean the same thing as normal parenthesis.

(12 + 5^2) = (12 + 25) = 37

(-7-15)^2 = (-22)^2 = 484

6^3  = 216

(12 + 5^2) - (-7-15)^2 = 37 - 484 = 447

6^3 / ((12 + 5^2) - (-7 - 15)^2) = 216 / 447 = 72/149
