Answer: Write the expression as:

" 70
(32)/(100) +

2
(1)/(10) * 2
\frac{7}{10 − 18a
" ;
______________________________________________________
or; write as:
______________________________________________________
" 70.32 + (2.1) * (2.7) − 18a " ;
______________________________________________________

To simplify:
______________________________________________________

Using "PEDMAS" (the "order of operations") ;

the "multiplication" comes first;

So: → "(2.1) * (2.7) = 5.67 " .

And rewrite:
______________________________________________________
" 70.32 + 5.67 − 18a " .

Now: " 70.32 + 5.67 = 75.99 " ;

So, we can the final simplified expression as:
______________________________________________________
" 75.99 − 18a " ;

or; write as: " 75
(99)/(100) − 18a
" .
