Answer:

[tex]\frac{71}{4}=17.75[/tex]

Explanation:

Remove parentheses:

[tex]\quad \left(-a\right)=-a[/tex]

[tex]=-\frac{1}{4}+2\left(9.75-0.75\right)[/tex]

[tex]=-\frac{1}{4}+18[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{18\cdot \:4}{4}-\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{71}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{71}{4}=17.75[/tex]

=17.75
