Answer 2

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

A = [2 - 3(2 - 3) - 1] - 1

The operations inside parenthesis are performed first. We have:

A = [2 - 3*(-1) - 1] - 1

The multiplication is performed next. We have:

A = [2 - (-3) - 1] - 1

Now, the operation could be performed freely in any order. (because only subtraction is remaining). We have:

A = 2 - (-3) - 1 - 1

   = 2 + 3 - 1 - 1

   = 5 - 2

   = 3

Hope this helps!
