You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\left(2 + -3 + -1\right) \cdot \left(2 - -3 - -1\right)\)

MathBot Answer:

\[\left(2 + -3 + -1\right) \cdot \left(2 - -3 - -1\right) = -12\]


\[\begin{aligned}\left(2 + -3 + -1\right) \cdot \left(2 - -3 - -1\right)& = \left(2 - 3 - 1\right) \cdot \left(2 + 3 + 1\right)\\& = \left(-1 - 1\right) \cdot \left(2 + 3 + 1\right)\\& = -2 \cdot \left(2 + 3 + 1\right)\\& = -2 \cdot \left(5 + 1\right)\\& = -2 \cdot 6\\& = -12\end{aligned}\]
