$\large \boxed{\mathfrak{Answer \: with \: Explanation} \downarrow}$

$\sf [5 - (5 - 5(2 - 5) + 2)] + 6$

Subtract 5 from 2 to get -3.

$\sf \: 5-\left(5-5\left(-3\right)+2\right)+6$

Multiply 5 and -3 to get -15.

$\sf \: 5-\left(5-\left(-15\right)+2\right)+6$

The opposite of -15 is 15.

$\sf \: 5-\left(5+15+2\right)+6$

Add 5 and 15 to get 20.

$\sf \: 5-\left(20+2\right)+6$

Add 20 and 2 to get 22.

$\sf \: 5-22+6$

Subtract 22 from 5 to get -17.

$\sf \: -17+6$

Add -17 and 6 to get -11.

$= \boxed{ \boxed { \bf \: - 11}}$
