Answer:

B.

Explanation:

The negative of a negative is a positive, so B is your choice. Think of it anothe way, if it helps. Imagine that the expression is this:

(-2) + (-1)(-3) since every subtraction problem can be rewritten as an addition problem.

We would first, by orders of operation, multiply the -1 and the -3 getting 3. Then the problem would simplify down to -2 + 3

Just another idea to ponder...
