Answer:6

Explanation:

using BIDMAS: Brackets,Indices,division,multiplication,addition,subtraction.

1) Firstly you do the problem in the brackets. (-19 - -20) two negatives next to each other make a plus(+) meaning (-19 - -20) = (-19+20) which = 1

2) Next Step is to do the multiplication section. Since we got 1 in place instead of (-19 - -20) we multiply -3 by 1 which = -3.

3) Now the equation we have is 11 + -8 - -3. In BIDMAS both addition and subtraction are equal therefore we can do it in any order. 11 + -8 is the same as 11 - 8 = 3

4) The problem we have now is 3 - -3, like we said before two negatives next to each other make an addition sign(+) so 3 - -3 = 3+3 = 6, therefore getting the answer 6.

Thank you for reading,please let me notify me if I've missed anything out!
