Okay, first you have to distibute the negative symbol throughout the whole thing inside the big brackets. Which gives you 2(-3-2) + (-2-3). The distibute that 2 in front of tha first expression which gives you -6-4 + (-2-3). then take off tha parenthesis from the second expression which gives you -6-4 - 2-3. Then solve it which gives you negative 15.
