Hoi!

To solve this, let's use the PEMDAS Order of Operations.

Parenthesis first:


2 + 7 * -3 * 2

There are no exponents, so we move on to multiplication.

Multiplication next:


7 * -3 = -21

-21 * 2 = -42

Here's our equation now:


2 - 21

No division or addition, so we move on to subtraction.

Subtraction next:
2 - 21 = -19

Your answer is -19.
