Math Problem Statement

Evaluate the expression: 3 × -2 + (-3)

Solution

The expression shown in the image is:

3×2+(3)3 \times -2 + (-3)

Step-by-Step Evaluation:

  1. First, perform the multiplication: 3×2=63 \times -2 = -6

  2. Then, add 3-3 to the result: 6+(3)=63=9-6 + (-3) = -6 - 3 = -9

Final Answer:

The value of the expression is -9.
