You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{{\left( -4 \right)}^{2} + {2}^{2}}{-3}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[\frac{{\left( -4 \right)}^{2} + {2}^{2}}{-3} = - \frac{20}{3} = -6.\overline{6}\]

\[\begin{aligned}\frac{{\left( -4 \right)}^{2} + {2}^{2}}{-3}& = \left(\left(-4\right)^{2} + 2^{2}\right) \cdot \frac{1}{-3}\\& = \left(16 + 2^{2}\right) \cdot \frac{1}{-3}\\& = \left(16 + 4\right) \cdot \frac{1}{-3}\\& = \frac{20}{-3}\\& = - \frac{20}{3}\end{aligned}\]
