Answer:

48.

Explanation:

First you multiply the number by itself as many times as the number of the exponent is. In this case you multiply -3 to itself 6 times which makes -729, 2 to the 6th power is 64, -3 to the 5th power is -243, and 2 to the 2nd power is 4. Then you multiply -729 by 64 which makes -46656 and multiply -243 by 4 which makes -972, and then divide -972 from -46656 which makes 48.
