Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The expression simplifies by multiplying -9 with each term inside the parentheses. Since there are no specific operations indicated between the letters and numbers inside the parentheses, they are treated as part of a variable name or a symbolic representation, not as mathematical operations. Therefore, the entire content inside the parentheses is treated as a single entity, and the simplification results in multiplying -9 by this entity, leading to -27 followed by the original sequence of characters.
