-3
First, plug in the values of the variables. You get:
(-1) (-(2) + (5))
This simplifies into -1 (-2 + 5)
Following order of operations (PEMDAS), you do what is in the parenthesis first. -2 + 5 = 3. This leaves you with:
-1(3)
When something is directly outside of parenthesis, that means you multiply that by whatever is inside the parenthesis. -1 x 3 = -3 so -3 is your answer.
