You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(3 - 5 \cdot \left\lvert -3 - 2\right\rvert - \frac{12}{-4}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[3 - 5 \cdot \left\lvert -3 - 2\right\rvert - \frac{12}{-4} = -19\]

\[\begin{aligned}3 - 5 \cdot \left\lvert -3 - 2\right\rvert - \frac{12}{-4}& = 3 - 5 \cdot \left|{-3 - 2}\right| + 3\\& = 3 - 5 \cdot \left|{-5}\right| + 3\\& = 3 - 5 \cdot 5 + 3\\& = 3 - 25 + 3\\& = -22 + 3\\& = -19\end{aligned}\]
