Answer: -8

Explanation: Arithmetic operations have some precedence according to each other.

Firstly, begin with the operation inside of the parenthesis:


9 + 6 = 15

The operation becomes:

-3 + (15) ÷ (-3)

Then, you should do the division part because the division has a precedence according to addition:


15 / (-3) = -5

Finally, it becomes:

-3 + (-5) = -8

"-8" is the answer.
