Answer 1

`-16`

Explanation:

`-3 \cdot (7+(-3)^2) / 3`

To simplify this expression, use the order of operations (PEMDAS):

P arentheses

E xponents

M ultiplication

D ivision

A ddition

S ubtraction

First, simplify what is in the parentheses.

`7 + (-3)^2`

Remember that any number squared (
`\Box ^2` ) is positive, so:

`(-3)^2 = 9`

Therefore,

`7 + (-3)^2`

`= 7 + 9`

`= 16`

We can now replace the parentheses in the original expression with 16.

`-3 \cdot (7+(-3)^2) / 3`

`= -3(16) / 3`

Finally, simplify by multiplying and dividing.

`-3(16) / 3`

`= -48 / 3`

`= -16`
