The first step for solving this expression is to plug in the numbers that represent x and y.

(6(6)-3(-4))/(6(-4))
Now we can start solving by multiplying 6 by 6.

(36-3(-4))/(6(-4))
Multiply -3 by -4.

(36+12)/(6(-4))
Add together the numbers on the numerator (top) of the fraction.

(48)/(6(-4))
Reduce the fraction with 6.

(8)/(-4)
Lastly,, reduce the fraction with -4 to get your final answer.
-2
Let me know if you have any further questions.
