Solution Steps

To simplify the given expression, follow these steps:

  1. Calculate the product of \((-3)\) and \((-3)\).
  2. Simplify the division inside the parentheses.
  3. Perform the division.
  4. Subtract the result of the division from the product calculated in step 1.
Step 1: Calculate the Product

First, we calculate the product of \((-3)\) and \((-3)\): \[ (-3) \times (-3) = 9 \]

Step 2: Simplify the Division Inside the Parentheses

Next, we simplify the expression inside the parentheses: \[ 4 - 12 = -8 \]

Step 3: Perform the Division

We then perform the division: \[ \frac{16}{-8} = -2.0 \]

Step 4: Subtract the Result of the Division from the Product

Finally, we subtract the result of the division from the product: \[ 9 - (-2.0) = 9 + 2.0 = 11.0 \]

Final Answer

\[ \boxed{11.0} \]
