Answer:

when the negative is outside of the parenthesis like in

-(-(2)) you need to distribute the negative to all the numbers within the parenthesis.

so in the case of -(-(2)) the first negative would distribute inside the parenthesis making the answer positive 2

you can also just enter it in your calculator
