The answer is -13 by using PEMDAS.

 

Let's review

 

Parentheses

Exponents

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction

 

Now, let's look at the problem.

 

3-3*6+2

 

There are no parentheses or exponents, but there is multiplication. Let's just get that done. 3*6=18

 

3-18+2

 

3-18 is -15

 

-15+2

 

-15+2 is -13, so -13 is your answer.
