First, enter the variables into the expression. [tex] \frac{1}{3} ^{2} - \frac{-6^2 }{2/3} [/tex] Square 1/3 and -6 to get this: [tex] \frac{1}{9} - \frac{36}{2/3} [/tex] Divide 36 by 2/3: [tex] \frac{1}{9} - 54[/tex] Subtract 54 from1/9 to get the final answer: [tex]-53 \frac{8}{9} [/tex], which is option D. Hope this helps!
