The question is giving us the values to the variables. So we need to plug them into the expression:
(-3) - 2 + 2 * 5
Remember the order of operation--multiplication takes place before addition and subtraction:
(-3) - 2 + 10
Now we can add/subtract in any order, so if we rearrange this a little, we have:
10 - 3 - 2
I'm sure you can solve that on your own.
