Answer: 26

Explanation:

Okay, so... The new equation would be -2(-3)+20...

So follow the rule of PEMDAS, PEMDAS is;

Parentheses

Exponents

Multiplication

Division

Adding

and Subtracting

Since there are no equations in parentheses and no exponents, we start with multiplication. Which would be -2(-3). ANY parenthesized number beside another number means you must multiply them.

-2(-3) = 6 because a negative multiplied by a negative is a positive..

Now we have 6 + 20 which is 26, so 26 is your answer.
