2 – (-4) to the 3rd power and divided by – 9+6

Depending on how this is set up it could be a couple of different things. If -4 is to the 3rd power and you subtract that answer from 2, then you have 2-(-64)=2+64=66. Then you would divide by -3 since -9+6=-3. If you do that then you get an answer of -22.

If you have to solve 2-(-4) first [you would know this because of brackets around these numbers] then you would have 6 to the power of three divided by -3. That answer would be 216/-3 which equals 72.

This all comes down to order of operations. PEMDAS…you can remember this by saying “Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally” but it really means Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction.

i hop this is your equation

[2-(-4)]^3 / -9+6

=[2+4]^3 (as – x – is equal to +) / -9+6

=6^3 / -3 (as -9 + 6 = -3)

=216 / -3

=72 / -1 (as we cannot divide further we reciprocate i.e interchange the denominater with the numerator and -1 means reciprocal)

= 1 / 72

do you mean

(2 – (-4) ^ 3) / (-9 + 6)

or

([2 – (-4)] ^ 3) / (-9 + 6)

or something else?

it makes a difference..
