Answer:
if the * is equal to multiply, the answer is 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Whenever a number is beside a parenthesis without a sign it means multiplication. So you would use PEMDAS work in parenthesis then exponents, multiplication (from left to right) addition and subtraction (from left to right). so you would add 20+3 and get 23 then multiply that by -5 to get -115 as your answer.
It's easy if you just break it into pieces...
