You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(-\left( 9 \left(3 \cdot -8 - 2 \cdot -3\right) \right)\)

MathBot Answer:

\[-\left( 9 \left(3 \cdot -8 - 2 \cdot -3\right) \right) = 162\]


\[\begin{aligned}-\left( 9 \left(3 \cdot -8 - 2 \cdot -3\right) \right)& = - 9 \cdot \left(3 \cdot -8 - 2 \cdot -3\right)\\& = - 9 \cdot \left(-24 - 2 \cdot -3\right)\\& = - 9 \cdot \left(-24 - -6\right)\\& = - 9 \cdot \left(-24 + 6\right)\\& = - 9 \cdot -18\\& = - -162\\& = 162\end{aligned}\]
