#-1#

Explanation:

The order of operations is critical here; remember BEDMAS:

  1. Brackets
  2. Exponents
  3. Division
  4. Multiplication
  5. Addition
  6. Subtraction

Of course, division and multiplication are essentially the same thing (so are addition and multiplication), so you do them from left to right.

#-7+3+9-:3=-7+3+3=-4+3=-1#
