So first you have to do 12-2 since it's in parenthesis. It is 10. 5+4 is 9, and 9 times 10 is 90. 3 squared is 9, then you divide 90 by 9. The answer is 10.
Loses means negative. It is getting lesser and if you use a number line and start from zero, you move to the left side of it and get -3. I hope that helps.
