Start with given expression
Distribute the exponents to both numerators and denominators with exponents
Any negative number raised to a odd power will have a negative sign (ie ) and any negative number raised to a even power will have a positive sign ie ().
Simplify the exponents
Distribute the 1/12
Add the values in the parenthesis (I found the LCD of 2304 and added the corresponding numerators)
Multiply the fractions
Simplify
Approximately note: the last group of 6's repeat forever.
Hope that helps. I know there are a lot of steps that I glossed over (I'm assuming you have adequate knowledge of order of operations, exponents, fractions, etc.), so ask about any step I explained.
