Answer 2

Let's break this statement into small pieces. Let's start with $(-3)^{3}$. This means $-3 \times -3 \times -3$ which is equal to $-27$ ($-3 \times -3 = 9, 9 \times -3 = -27$).

Note the following rules

• $- \times - = +$
• $+ \times + = +$
• $- \times + = -$

• $+ \times - = -$

Now let's solve the rest of the equation. $-2 \cdot (-3)^{3} = -2 \cdot -27$ (Note $\cdot$ is the same as $\times$. $= -2 \cdot -27$, $54$

The answer is $54$
