-6

Step by step solution

01

Interpret Negative of a Negative

For the term -(-3), it can be rewritten as +3 because minus of a negative number becomes a positive number.
02

Rewrite the Expression

Now replace -(-3) by +3 in the expression. The expression becomes -6+3+8-11.
03

Perform the Addition and Subtraction

Perform the addition and subtraction operations in order. First, -6+3 results in -3. Then, -3+8 gives 5 and finally, by subtracting 11 from 5, we get -6.
