Question

Evaluate the following expression.
​ 3(4−7)−(−6)

Answer 1

To evaluate the expression \( 3(4 - 7) - (-6) \), we can follow these steps:

1. **Calculate the expression inside the parentheses**:
\[
4 - 7 = -3
\]

2. **Multiply by 3**:
\[
3(-3) = -9
\]

3. **Subtract the negative six**:
When subtracting a negative number, it is equivalent to adding the positive number:
\[
-9 - (-6) = -9 + 6
\]
\[
= -9 + 6 = -3
\]

So, the value of the expression \( 3(4 - 7) - (-6) \) is \(\boxed{-3}\).
