Answer
-8.25
Work Step by Step
To simplify the expression you must use order of operations.
In the equation: -3 x 5 +(-9) / 4 + 3^2
The first thing we do is simplify the exponent, resulting in:
-3 x 5 +(-9) / 4 +9
*Multiply -3 x 5 to get:
-15+(-9)/4+9
*Divide -9 by 4 to get:
-15-2.25+9
*Add the two negative numbers -15 and -2.25 to get:
-17.25+9
*Add 9 and -17.25 together to get the solution:
-8.25
