      6 + 4[5-3(7+2)-6]         


      6+4[5-3(9)-6]


      6+4[5-27-6]    


      6+4[-28]


      6+-112


      -106

        I think you need to add 6+4 befor the brackets, but agree with your take on the stuff inside. The answer would be -280. ?????

        6+4[5-3(7+2)-6] =
        Do the part in parenthesis first  7 + 2 = 9
        6 + 4 = 10, and 5 - 3 = 2.


        10 x (2x9 - 6)
        10 x (18 - 6)
        10 x 12 = 120

        You must always do what is in (  ) first.  If there are brackets {  }, do what is in the ( ) withing the brackets first, then the rest of what is in the brackets.  Follow the order of operations, moving from left to right. Multiply, divide, add, subtract.
