Remember PEMDAS. First thing you do is the parentheses. Division is always before addition. 9 divided by 3 = 3. 6 + 3 = 9 Now 675 divided by 9. The answer to that question is 75. You should show your work.
An exponent signifies repeated multiplication.
the factor x is repeated 3 times
Exponents can be added and subtracted to express the effects of multiplication and division.

The addition and subtraction of exponents works the same even when there are more denominator factors than numerator factors.

That is, a negative numerator exponent is the same as a positive denominator exponent and vice versa. You can move a factor with an exponent from denominator to numerator and change the sign of the exponent, and vice versa.
Your expression has 3 in the denominator with a negative exponent. It can be moved to the numerator and the exponent changed to positive:

Answer:
It is: -5x^2 + x - 12 = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula is
R=I/pt
R interest rate?
I interest earned 150
P principle 2000
T time 3 years
R=150÷(2,000×3)
R=0.025 × 100
R=2.5%
