failed

Solution Steps

Step 1: Evaluate the Division Inside the Parentheses

First, we evaluate the expression \( 18 \div 3^{2} \): \[ 18 \div 3^{2} = 18 \div 9 = 2.0 \]

Step 2: Evaluate the Division Outside the Parentheses

Next, we evaluate the expression \( 12 \div 3 \): \[ 12 \div 3 = 4.0 \]

Step 3: Subtract the Results

Now, we subtract the result from Step 1 from the result in Step 2: \[ 4.0 - 2.0 = 2.0 \]

Final Answer

The final simplified result of the expression is \\(\boxed{2.0}\\).
