Solve 1609-(-84)*(-7/12)-(-37)^2

$$1609 - ( - 84 ) \cdot ( - \frac { 7 } { 12 } ) - ( - 37 ) ^ { 2 }$$

Evaluate

$$191$$

Solution Steps

Express -84\left(-\frac{7}{12}\right) as a single fraction.

$$1609-\frac{-84\left(-7\right)}{12}-\left(-37\right)^{2}$$

Multiply -84 and -7 to get 588.

$$1609-\frac{588}{12}-\left(-37\right)^{2}$$

Divide 588 by 12 to get 49.

$$1609-49-\left(-37\right)^{2}$$

Subtract 49 from 1609 to get 1560.

$$1560-\left(-37\right)^{2}$$

Calculate -37 to the power of 2 and get 1369.

$$1560-1369$$

Subtract 1369 from 1560 to get 191.

$$191$$

Factor

$$191$$
