Answer:

-2 2/3

Explanation:

(5 + 1)2 - (12 + 32)/3

First simplify the brackets

(6)2 - (44)/3

6 x 2 - 44/3

12 - 44/3

This can also be written as

12/1 - 44/3

LCM of 3 and 1 = 3

Now, divide the denominators of the fractions with the LCM and then multiply the results by the numerators. Also, the LCM becomes the denominator of the results.

We have 36 - 44 /3

-8/3

Change to mixed fraction

-2 2/3
