. What is the simplified denominator?(1 point)
The simplified form of the expression is:
4 + (-6) * 2 - (-3)^2
First, we need to calculate the exponent (-3)^2, which is equal to 9.
Now we can simplify the expression further:
4 + (-6) * 2 - 9
Next, we calculate -6 * 2, which is equal to -12.
4 + (-12) - 9
Finally, we can combine the remaining terms:
-5 - 9 = -14
Therefore, the simplified expression is -14.
Since there is no denominator in the expression, we cannot determine the simplified denominator.
To simplify the given expression, let's follow the order of operations (PEMDAS).
First, we evaluate the parentheses:
(−6)⋅2 = -12
(−3)2 = 9
Now, let's write the expression with the simplified values:
4 + (-12) - 9
Next, we perform the addition and subtraction from left to right:
4 + (-12) = -8
-8 - 9 = -17
Therefore, the simplified expression is -17.
