Answer: 28

-9^2 - (-6)^2 + 3 - 20

so follow order of operations

P = parentheses

E = exponents

D = divide

M = multiply

A = add

S = subtract

since there are no parentheses, do exponents

-9^2 = 81

-6^2 = 36

so now its

81 - 36 + 3 - 20

now follow order of operations

81 - 36 = 45

45 + 3 - 20

3 - 20 = -17

45 + -17 = 28

so your answer is 28
