The answer for 3-3x6+2 is 17. For this you need to use PEMDAS (Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally) to solve the problem. First, M stands for multiplication so you do 3x6 which is 18. Then, A is addition so add 2 to 18 which is 20. Lastly, S stands for subtraction so you subtract 3 from 20 and you get your answer, 17.
