You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{\frac{72}{-3}}{-2} + \frac{352}{2 - 13}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[\frac{\frac{72}{-3}}{-2} + \frac{352}{2 - 13} = -20\]


\[\begin{aligned}\frac{\frac{72}{-3}}{-2} + \frac{352}{2 - 13}& = - \frac{72}{3} \cdot \frac{1}{-2} + 352 \cdot \frac{1}{2 - 13}\\& = \frac{36}{3} + 352 \cdot \frac{1}{2 - 13}\\& = \frac{36}{3} + \frac{352}{-11}\\& = \frac{36}{3} - 32\\& = -20\end{aligned}\]
