See a solution process below:

First, evaluate the terms within the parenthesis:

#3 - (color(red)(4) xx color(red)(2)) + (color(blue)(9) -: color(blue)(3)) =>#

#3 - 8 + 3#

Now, evaluate the subtraction and addition from left to right:

#color(red)(3) - color(red)(8) + 3 =>#

#color(red)(-5) + color(red)(3) =>#

#-2#
