You asked:

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

MathBot Answer:

\[3 \cdot -1 + 1 - {\left( -1 \right)}^{2} = -3\]


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