See a solution process below:

Multiply each of the terms Left to Right:

#(color(red)(-6.5))(color(red)(2))(-9) =>#

#-13(-9) =>#

#117#

117

( ) parenthesis means to multiply so the problem can be rewritten as

# -6.5 xx 2 xx -9# using the order of operations first multiply

# - 6.5 xx 2 = -13 # next multiply

# -13 xx - 9 = + 117# A negative times a negative is a positive.

Think about a negative both being something bad and something being taken away.

taking away something bad is good so the answer is positive.
