Answer for screen readers

The final answer is $-11$.

Steps to Solve

  1. Evaluate the expression inside the parentheses

First, we simplify the expression inside the parentheses: $$ -3 + 11 $$

Calculating this gives us: $$ -3 + 11 = 8 $$

  1. Replace the parentheses in the original expression

Now, we substitute back into the original equation: $$ -19 + 8 $$

  1. Perform the final addition

Now we evaluate: $$ -19 + 8 $$

This can be visualized as moving 8 units to the right from -19 on the number line. Thus, we have: $$ -19 + 8 = -11 $$

The final answer is $-11$.
