Answer:

12

Explanation:

Hello!

First of all you have to understand the order of operations.

PEMDAS

Parenthesis, Exponent, Multiplication/Divison, Addition, Subtraction.

From this you can see that we first have to deal with the exponent, then multiplication, then the addition.

So we get 2+9-(-1)

The 9 is from -3^2

2+9+1

11+1

12.

Hope this helps!
