$-65$

$-5[7-2(-3)]$

To simplify/solve this, we use PEMDAS, which is the order of operations (shown below):

Following this image, we have to solve the expression in the parenthesis/bracket first:
$[7-2(-3)]$

Now we do multiplication :
$[7+6]$

Addition :
$[13]$

So now the entire expression is :
$-5[13]$

Multiplication :
$-65$

Hope this helps!
