Answer:

$\Huge \boxed{\frac{427}{3}=142.3 }$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\Huge \bigstar\boxed{\textnormal{Order of operations}}\bigstar$

To use order of operations stands for (parenthesis, exponents, multiply, divide, add, and subtract) the numbers from left to right. Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally!

First, remove parenthesis.

$\displaystyle 144-\frac{3}{2}-\frac{1}{6}$

Next, you'd convert element into the fraction.

$\displaystyle 144=\frac{144}{1}$

$\displaystyle \frac{144}{1}-\frac{3}{2} -\frac{1}{6}$

To find the least common multiples of 6 is 1, 2, and 6.

$\displaystyle \frac{864}{6}-\frac{9}{6}-\frac{1}{6}$

$\displaystyle \frac{864-9-1}{6}$

Subtract numbers by numerators from left to right.

$\displaystyle 864-9-1=854$

Divide by 2.

$\displaystyle 854\div2=\boxed{427}$

$\Large\boxed{\textnormal{As a result, the correct answer is \boxed{\frac{427}{3}=142.3 }}}}$
