Option B is the correct answer.

3 is greater than -5, -9, and -1.

Hint: Remember to distribute the negative when solving. A negative directly outside outside of and to the left the parenthesis times a negative number inside the parenthesis makes that number positive.

So for option B, you can simplify it to -3 +4 +2. And that equals 3.

A) -3+-4-(-2) = -5

B) -3-(-4)-(-2) = 3

C) -3+(-4)-2 = -9

D) -3-(-4)-2 = -1
