Answer

$\frac{9}{4}$

Work Step by Step

We are given: $x=-3$, $y=4$, $z=6$ We take into account the order of operations: Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction Thus, we have: $$\left(\frac{x+3y}{z}\right)^2=\left(\frac{-3+3*4}{6}\right)^2=\left(\frac{-3+12}{6}\right)^2\\ =\left(\frac{9}{6}\right)^2=\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^2=\frac{3^2}{2^2}=\frac{9}{4} .$$
