Solve (3)^2-4(3)+5/13-2=

$$\frac { ( 3 ) ^ { 2 } - 4 ( 3 ) + 5 } { 13 - 2 } =$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{2}{11}\approx 0.181818182$$

Solution Steps

Calculate 3 to the power of 2 and get 9.

$$\frac{9-4\times 3+5}{13-2}$$

Multiply 4 and 3 to get 12.

$$\frac{9-12+5}{13-2}$$

Subtract 12 from 9 to get -3.

$$\frac{-3+5}{13-2}$$

Add -3 and 5 to get 2.

$$\frac{2}{13-2}$$

Subtract 2 from 13 to get 11.

$$\frac{2}{11}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2}{11} = 0.18181818181818182$$
