ok i have had it. ive seen 3 different people say the answer is -21 and that aint even an answer option. so for all u folks who were frustrated and confused. i am here to save the day.

the answer is AcTuaLLy -39

-3^3 does not mean -3 x 3. your MAD CRIINGE if u think that. and all the people who got -21 as an answer are actual raisins. -3^3 is actually -3 x -3 x -3. that would give you -27. and -27 - 12 is -39. i know. pretty simple. your welcome XDXD
