1 answer

To calculate the value of the expression, we follow the order of operations (also known as PEMDAS/BODMAS).

First, we calculate inside the parentheses:
2 * 4 = 8

Next, we perform the subtraction:
8 - 6 = 2

Then, we perform the division:
4 / (-3) = -1.3333... (rounded to a decimal place)

Finally, we perform the subtraction:
2 - (-1.3333) = 3.3333... (rounded to a decimal place)

Therefore, the value of the expression is approximately 3.3333.
