Answer:

d. -8

Explanation:

so, well, remember the priorities of mathematical operations :

1. brackets

2. exponents

3. multiplications and divisions

4. additions and subtractions

and remember, when 2 signs or a sign and a + or - operation combine, the result is

+ + = +

+ - = -

- + = -

- - = +

so,

-3 + (9 + 6) ÷ (-3)

first brackets

-3 + 15 ÷ -3

then multiplications or divisions

-3 + -5

then additions and subtractions

-3 - 5 = -8

Answer: D

D because if everything is distributed and then divided added and everything would make sense then.
