You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{{6}^{2}}{\left(2 + 4\right) \cdot 4} - 5\)

MathBot Answer:

\[\frac{{6}^{2}}{\left(2 + 4\right) \cdot 4} - 5 = - \frac{7}{2} = -3.5\]


\[\begin{aligned}\frac{{6}^{2}}{\left(2 + 4\right) \cdot 4} - 5& = 6^{2} \cdot \frac{1}{\left(2 + 4\right) \cdot 4} - 5\\& = 36 \cdot \frac{1}{\left(2 + 4\right) \cdot 4} - 5\\& = 36 \cdot \frac{1}{6 \cdot 4} - 5\\& = \frac{36}{24} - 5\\& = \frac{3}{2} - 5\\& = - \frac{7}{2}\end{aligned}\]
