To simplify (-3+2)(-1)-(-6), follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS): parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division (from left to right), and addition and subtraction (from left to right).

Step 1: Simplify inside the parentheses: (-3 + 2) = -1

Step 2: Simplify the expression using the simplified parentheses: (-1)(-1) - (-6)

Step 3: Multiply the terms: (-1)(-1) = 1

Step 4: Subtract the result from -6: 1 - (-6) = 1 + 6 = 7

So, (-3 + 2)(-1)-(-6) simplifies to 7.
