Explanation:

Step1: Simplify inside the parentheses

First, we calculate the expression inside the parentheses: \(-6 + 9 = 3\). So the expression becomes \(2\times3\times2\).

Step2: Perform the multiplications from left to right

First, multiply \(2\) and \(3\): \(2\times3 = 6\). Then multiply the result by \(2\): \(6\times2 = 12\).

Answer:

\(12\)
