$4$
Work Step by Step
RECALL:
The order of operations follow the PEMDAS rule:
First Priority: P- parenthesis or grouping symbols
Second Priority: E- exponents
Third Priority: M/D - multiplication or division, whichever comes first from the left
Fourth Priority: A/S - addition or subtraction, whichever comes first from the left
Using the rules above gives the following steps:
Get the absolute value of $-3$ to obtain:
$=−6 \cdot 3 \div 9 \cdot (-2)$
Perform the first multiplication from the left to obtain:
$=-18 \div 9 \cdot (-2)$
Perform the division to obtain:
$=-2 \cdot (-2)$
Multiply to obtain:
$=4$
