Answer:


3(2 - 1) = 3

Explanation:

Use PEMDAS.

===================================


3(2-1)\\\rule{150}{0.5}\\\rightarrow 2 - 1 = 1\\\\3(1)\\\\3 * 1\\\\\boxed{3}

===================================

You can also distribute 3 into the parentheses and evaluate form there.


3(2-1)\\\rule{150}{0.5}\\\rightarrow 3 * 2 = 6\\\rightarrow 3 * -1 = -3\\\\3(2-1) \rightarrow \boxed{6 - 3}\\\\\boxed{3}

===================================

Hope this helps!
