Math Problem Statement

Solve: (12 + 3^2(14 - 2^3) + 6 * 10) / (6 + 2^3(3 - 8)^2 - 4^4 + 2^6)

Solution

Let's solve the given expression step by step.

The expression is:

12+32(1423)+6106+23(38)244+26\frac{12 + 3^2(14 - 2^3) + 6 \cdot 10}{6 + 2^3(3 - 8)^2 - 4^4 + 2^6}

Step 1: Simplify each part.

Numerator:

  1. 32=93^2 = 9
  2. 23=82^3 = 8, so 1423=148=614 - 2^3 = 14 - 8 = 6
  3. Multiply: 96=549 \cdot 6 = 54
  4. Add: 12+54+610=12+54+60=12612 + 54 + 6 \cdot 10 = 12 + 54 + 60 = 126

Denominator:

  1. 23=82^3 = 8
  2. 38=53 - 8 = -5, and (5)2=25(-5)^2 = 25
  3. Multiply: 825=2008 \cdot 25 = 200
  4. Powers: 44=2564^4 = 256, and 26=642^6 = 64
  5. Total denominator: 6+200256+64=270256=146 + 200 - 256 + 64 = 270 - 256 = 14

Step 2: Final division.

12614=9\frac{126}{14} = 9

Thus, the solution to the expression is 9\boxed{9}.
