To solve the expression \(3 \times 3 \left( \frac{66}{74} \right) - 9\), follow the order of operations (parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division from left to right, addition and subtraction from left to right).
First, calculate the division inside the parentheses: \[ \frac{66}{74} \approx 0.8919 \]
Next, multiply by \(3 \times 3\): \[ 3 \times 3 = 9 \]
Then perform the multiplication: \[ 9 \times 0.8919 \approx 8.0271 \]
Finally, subtract \(9\): \[ 8.0271 - 9 \approx -0.9729 \]
Therefore, the result of \(3 \times 3 \left( \frac{66}{74} \right) - 9\) is approximately \(-0.9729\).
