Answer provided by our tutors

I see two numeric expressions set equal to each other.  That is either a typo or simply unusual.  The best approach is to simplify each expression and then verify that both resolve to the same number, which happens to be -8.4. 

Since the answers are not integers, use the 'Options' tab and select 'real numbers'.
