Consider the following expression: 4+(−6)⋅2−(−3)2

Question

. What is the simplified denominator?(1 point)

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \( 4 + (-6) \cdot 2 - (-3)^2 \), we will proceed step-by-step:

1. Evaluate \((-6) \cdot 2\): \[ (-6) \cdot 2 = -12 \]

2. Evaluate \((-3)^2\): \[ (-3)^2 = 9 \]

3. Substitute these values back into the expression: \[ 4 + (-12) - 9 \]

4. Simplify the expression: \[ 4 - 12 - 9 \]

   Now calculate \(4 - 12\): \[ 4 - 12 = -8 \]

   Now calculate \(-8 - 9\): \[ -8 - 9 = -17 \]

Thus, the simplified expression is \(-17\).

As for the "simplified denominator," assuming this was a misunderstanding because the expression doesn't contain a fraction, the answer is just the final simplified result: \[ -17 \]
