the answer is 28

28

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Order of Operations rules, we must multiply here before adding or subtracting.

In 7 +6 - 9(-2) + (-3) the very first thing we must do is to evaluate the product -9(-2).  This comes out to 18, so now we have:

7+6 + 18 +(-3).

Next, remove the remaining parentheses, obtaining:

7 + 6 + 18 - 3, or

  13    +    15              =     28

b.an increase in a causes b to decrease
