I came up with 18? I don't understand why the 3 gets subtracted?
Answer provided by our tutors
3 that you are referring to (at the end of the expression) is the result of 6/(-2). When you divide a positive and a negative number, you get a negative (-3). That is why 3 is being subtracted from the rest of the expression.
