Recall that the order of operations is a rule that tells the correct sequence of steps for evaluating a math expression, this order is: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplications and Divisions (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

Simplifying the parentheses in the given expression we get:


-3*-6-1.

Simplifying multiplications in the above result we get:


18-1.

Finally, simplifying subtractions in the above result we get:


17.

Answer:


-3*-6+(-1)=17.
