Simplify

-4^3 – 2 * 4^2
45 ÷ 3^2 – (3-|2-16|)

There should be a line between the top numbers and the bottom, like in a fraction but longer. I typed it on word but when I tried to copy the line never showed when I pasted. Thanks!!

the first question I have is the top:
is it - 4^2 or (-4)^3? turn out, here it will not make a difference. Lucky you.

Lets do the bottom first.

45/9 -(3+14) check that.
45/9-17=
-12

Now the numerator:
-64-2(16)
-64-32
-96

final answer
-96/-12=8
