#-109#

Think of this as: #-65+1(-44)#

Multiply what is inside the brackets by #+1#

When multiplying:

If the signs are different ( that is one is + and the other is -) then the answer is minus.

If the signs are the same then the answer is pluss

So #(+1)xx(-44) = -44#

Putting it all together we have:

#-65-44#

#-65#
#ul(-44)#
#-109#
