The answer is -3.
2 - {1 - [1 - (2 - 3) - 2] + 3}.

2 - {1 - [1 - (-1) -2] + 3}.

2 - {1 - [1 - [2] +3}.

2 - {1 - [-1] +3}.

2 - {1 + 1 + 3}.

2 - {5}.

2 - [1-(1-(1-(2-3)-2)+3]
= 2-[1-(1+1-2)+3]
= 2-[1-1-1+2+3]
= 2-[4]
= 2-4
= -2

Ejipat:
Before I solve the question, I want to point out something. The question did not pass standard mathematical logic. First the question is a form of nesting, however in standard nesting you don't repeat an demarcation symbol. So it is not best to repeat the sign [] as was used in the question. It should have been stated as 2-{1 - [1 - (2 - 3) - 2] + 3} or better still 2-{3+1 - [-2+1 - (2-3)]} i.e. standard nesting.
However the correct answer is -2.

You are probably a mathematician.

I edited my post but before i clicked submit, my pc was out of power. I believe the op is not a mathematician to know the difference. And most people will not know so i rather not complicate matters.

The answer is 5. This is a very simply maths. In solving this , you must follow Bodmas rules. 2-(1-(2-3)-2)+3. Use - to multiply the inner most bracket to remove it. 2-(1-2+3-2)+3. Use - in front of the bracket to multiply the content in the bracket so that it will open the bracket. 2-1+2-3+2+3. = 5.

2-(1-(1-(2-3)-2)+3)

(2-3)= -1 then you have 1-(1-(-1)-2)+3),
(1-(-1)=>1+1 = 2 then u have 1-(2-2)+3
1-(2-2)+3=>1-0+3=4
then 2-(4)=-2

answer -2

You cannot just rearrange like that. Every number takes the sign before it, so you cannot move the number and leave the sign for another number.
