See a solution process below:

Explanation:

First, execute the Subtraction operation within the Parenthesis:

-3 + 6(color(red)(1) - color(red)(3))^2 => -3 + 6(-2)^23+6(13)23+6(2)2

Next, execute the Exponent operation:

-3 + 6(-2)^color(red)(2) => -3 + 6 xx 43+6(2)23+6×4

Then, execute the Multiplication operation:

-3 + color(red)(6) xx color(red)(4) => -3 + 243+6×43+24

Now, execute the Additionoperation:

color(red)(-3) + color(red)(24) => 213+2421

Explanation:

Count the number of terms first and simplify each term to a single value. These are added or subtracted in the last line.

color(blue)(-3)" + "color(green)(6(1-3)^2)3 + 6(13)2

Within each term do brackets first.
Then powers and roots
Then multiply and divide,

=color(blue)(-3)" + "color(green)(6(-2)^2)" "larr=3 + 6(2)2 brackets

=color(blue)(-3)" + "color(green)(6(4)" "larr=3 + 6(4) powers

=color(blue)(-3)" + "color(green)(24)" "larr=3 + 24 muliplication

= 21" "larr=21 addition
