The Order Of Operations is:
Parenthesis ()
Exponents ²
Multiplication ×
Division ÷
Addition +
Subtraction -
(-9)
------- (-11)(4)
3
Note that the parenthesis used in this problem are just to hold the negative numbers in place, so we do not have to do them first.
First, we can start with the multiplication of (-11)(4), which is -44.
Next, we can divide 3 by -9 to get -3.
Now, we have to multiply (-3) by (-44).
Your final answer is 132.
