Use PEMDAS to simplify two rational expressions (2(–5+3)/(–2)^2)–((–3^2 + 2)*3)/(3–(–4))

The video tutorial addresses a complex math problem using the PEMDAS method. It begins by explaining the importance of solving expressions inside parentheses first. The tutorial then clarifies the concept of negative squares and their outcomes. It proceeds to simplify the expression by addressing both numerators and denominators, leading to the final calculation and result. The tutorial emphasizes careful attention to mathematical operations and the importance of understanding negative numbers in calculations.
