The formula (6-3)*2 will subtract 3 from 6 first (which results in 3) and then multiply that outcome by 2 (which results in 6). This is the correct order of operations, and therefore the correct answer. Option A calculates the sum of 3 and 6 and then multiplies it by 2, which is not what the question is asking for. Option B calculates 6 minus 3 first (which results in 3) and then multiplies that by 2 (which results in 6), but this is not the correct order of operations. Option C calculates the sum of 3, 6, and 2, which is also not what the question is asking for.
