$31/(-14)$

Although this is all one term, there are different terms in the numerator and denominator.

We can do several calculations at a time, as long as we leave the plus and minus operations until last.

$(-2-color(red)(2(4)(-3))+color(blue)((3)^2))/(4color(orange)(-(-6)(-3)))$

$(-2-(color(red)(-24))+color(blue)(9))/(4color(orange)(-(+18))$

$(-2 +color(red)24+color(blue)(9))/(4 color(orange)(-18)$

$31/(-14)$
