Answer: 10/3

Step-by-step explanation:

I will rewrite the expression using the math editor just to make it more understandable.


( (1)/(3) )(4+18)-2^2

Now, I will show the solution step-by-step

1) Solve the parenthesis:

=>
(1)/(3) .22-2^2

2) Calculate the product of the fraction 1/3 times number 22 and rais 2 to the power 2:

=>
(1.22)/(3.1)-4 = (22)/(3)-4


3) Subtract 4 from the fraction 22/3


(22)/(3) -4= (22-4.3)/(3) = (22-12)/(3) = (10)/(3)
