Sure! Let's solve the expression step by step:
1. Evaluate the expression inside the parentheses:
[tex]\[
-1 - 2
\][/tex]
When you subtract 2 from -1, you get:
[tex]\[
-1 - 2 = -3
\][/tex]
2. Multiply the result by 3:
[tex]\[
(-3) \times 3
\][/tex]
When you multiply -3 by 3, you get:
[tex]\[
-3 \times 3 = -9
\][/tex]
So, the final result of the expression [tex]\((-1 - 2) \times 3\)[/tex] is:
[tex]\[
\boxed{-9}
\][/tex]
