#5.73#

Explanation:

#1#. According to B.E.D.M.A.S. (brackets, exponents, division, multiplication, addition, subtraction), work on the exponents first, since the given problem does not contain any brackets. Recall that any number to the power of #0# is always #1#.

#6.73-2*color(teal)(5^0)-:2#

#=6.73-2*color(teal)1-:2#

#2#. Work on multiplication next since multiplication and division are ranked equally. Solve #color(darkorange)(2*1)# since multiplication appears first.

#=6.73-color(darkorange)(2*1)-:2#

#=6.73-color(darkorange)2-:2#

#3#. Work on division next. Solve #color(violet)(2-:2)#.

#=6.73-color(violet)(2-:2)#

#=6.73-color(violet)1#

#4#. Solve.

#=color(green)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)color(black)(5.73)color(white)(a/a)|)))#
