Answer:

-3

Explanation:

We must do the subtraction -3 + 2 BEFORE anything else, because any operations inside parenthesis always take first priority.

We end up with:

-3(-1) - 6.

We must multiply before addiing or subtracting. Therefore, multiply (-3)(-1), obtaining 3 and complete result 3 - 6.

Finally do that subtraction; the result is -3.
