Answer 1

I can’t be sure how to read the expression from the line breaks. Could you retype it using linear notation so I can parse it correctly? Use:
- / for division (fractions),
- * for multiplication,
- ^ for exponents, and
- parentheses () where needed.

For example, write one of these depending on what you mean:
- (4 - 4*4 - 6)/(4 - 2)
- 4 - 4*4 - 6/(4 - 2)
- 4 - 4*(4 - 6)/(4 - 2)

If you meant the first form, (4 − 4·4 − 6)/(4 − 2) = (4 − 16 − 6)/2 = −18/2 = −9 (which doesn’t match any of the answer choices). Send the expression in one of the suggested formats and I’ll evaluate it and pick the matching choice.
