To provide help, we must know exactly what the question is.
The given expression can be interpreted in many ways, depending on whether parentheses are missing.
If no parentheses are missing, it is interpreted as:
((6^2 + 18)/9) + ((2/3)*(8)) - 6
Does the interpreted expression represent the question correctly?
Remember that the fractions in text-books are expressed using typography which has to be replaced by properly inserting parentheses. Numerators and denominators containing more than one term have to be enclosed in parentheses.
