Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Using PEMDAS (Parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction) you would first look at the number/equation in the parenthesis. Thats -25. Theres no equation in the parenthesis though, so we go to the next thing in PEMDAS in the equation. This would be Division, since exponents are not in this equation. So, 34/23. That would be 1.47826086957. Then comes addition. 1.47826086957 + 0.5. 1.97826086957. If you round this number, you would get 2, if thats what the "simplest form" answer is looking for, because it cant really be more simplified than 1.97826086957 unless rounded. If i'm wrong, I apologize and you can correct me in the comments :)
