In algebra you do not work from left to right; you do the multiplication and division portions of the equations first.
3 - (3 x 3)

-6
-3 x 3 = -9
-9 + 3 = -6

The answer should be:
3-(3x3)
= 3-9
= -6

using BODMAS (Brackets, Of (x), Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction)
its 3 - (3x3)
= 3 - 9
= -6

laws of algebra state that BIDMAS is the way in which you work out an equation...
B-brackets
I-indices
D-division
M-multiplication
A-addition
S-subtraction
starting your equation with which ever letter is first...
therefore in this case
3-3x3
means that multiplication is first (bidMas) because 'M' is before 'S' in the word
so 3x3=9
3-9 = -6

according to BODMAS rule we must multiply first before adding so
3 x 3 = 9
3 - 9 = -6

Zero. Order of operations states that you work this problem from left to right, so 3-3=0, 0x3=0.
