The expression is given as:
3^2018 + 3^2015 / 3^2017 + 3^2016
Factor out 3^2015 in the expression
So, we have
3^2015(3^3 + 1)/3^2015(3^2 + 3)
Cancel out the common factor
(3^3 + 1)/(3^2 + 3)
Evaluate the exponents
(27 + 1)/(9 + 3)
This gives
28/12
Simplify
7/3
Hence, the simplified value of the expression given as 3^2018 + 3^2015 / 3^2017 + 3^2016 is 7/3
