Answer:
2.4
Step-by-step explanation:
Evaluating [tex] \frac{16.8 - 1.2^2}{-4.3 + 3(-0.7)} [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{16.8 - 1.44}{-4.3 + (-2.1)} [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{15.36}{-4.3 - 2.1)} [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{15.36}{-6.4)} [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{15.36*10^2)}{-6.4*10^2)} [/tex] (multiplying the numerator and denominator by 100)
[tex] = \frac{1536}{640)} [/tex]
[tex] = 2.4 [/tex]
