1. Stating the problem: Simplify the expression $-3[2 - (5 - 4) + (-6)] + 7 - (-2 \cdot 3)$.
2. Simplify inside the parentheses: Calculate $(5 - 4) = 1$.
3. Substitute back: $-3[2 - 1 + (-6)] + 7 - (-2 \cdot 3)$.
4. Simplify inside the brackets: $2 - 1 = 1$, so $1 + (-6) = 1 - 6 = -5$.
5. Expression becomes: $-3[-5] + 7 - (-2 \cdot 3)$.
6. Multiply: $-3 \times -5 = 15$.
7. Calculate $-2 \cdot 3 = -6$, so $-(-6) = +6$.
8. Expression is now: $15 + 7 + 6$.
9. Add all terms: $15 + 7 = 22$, then $22 + 6 = 28$.
10. Final answer: $28$.
