-2 (3-5)² -2 (-3)



Why is this causing you a problem?

There is an invisible times sign between the number and the ( bracket.

or, is it that you don't understand how to work with negative numbers?
We did a post earlier today on this, have a look at what we wrote.
There are 3 answers, you can use the one you like best.

After that have a go at your question. If you get in a mess, post what you have done and we will sort it out together.
There are some questions at the end of the other post. You may even like to copy and paste them into your reply and answer them for me.
That would be cool.
