You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{1}{2 \cdot \left(4 + 5 - 3\right) \cdot \left(-12 - 5\right)}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[\frac{1}{2 \cdot \left(4 + 5 - 3\right) \cdot \left(-12 - 5\right)} = - \frac{1}{204} = -0.00\overline{4901960784313725}\]


\[\begin{aligned}\frac{1}{2 \cdot \left(4 + 5 - 3\right) \cdot \left(-12 - 5\right)}& = \frac{1}{2 \cdot \left(9 - 3\right) \cdot \left(-12 - 5\right)}\\& = \frac{1}{2 \cdot 6 \cdot \left(-12 - 5\right)}\\& = \frac{1}{2 \cdot 6 \cdot -17}\\& = \frac{1}{12 \cdot -17}\\& = \frac{1}{-204}\\& = - \frac{1}{204}\end{aligned}\]
