-100 is correct. Good job.
Always start with parentheses, in this case, using distribution.

-100 is correct.
pemdas
p- parenthesis
e- exponents
m- multiply
d- divide
a- add
s- subtract
That is the order in which you solve. But if you have to multiply and divide in the same equation- do it from left to right. Same goes for adding and subtracting.
-6*20= -120
-120+20= -100
=D hope this helps!
