You can put this solution on YOUR website! The key to simplifying arithmetic expression us to know the "Rules of Order" for arithmetic operations.
Perform the calculation in the inner braces first.
WE have 3-2^2-{4*3-(-2)}+12/4
Next do the calculation inside the parenthisis with multiplication/division done befor subtraction/addition
We then have
3-2^2-(12+2)+12/4
then we have 3-2^2-14+12/4
Then calculate 2 to the power 2 and 12 divided by 4
3-4-14+3
Lastly, do the additions and subtractions from left to right
The final answer is -12
I hope that this helps
