Question

-7 - (-8) + (-3) + 6 - 2=

Answer 1

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by removing the parentheses appropriately:

-(-8) = +8, and

+(-3) = -3

Then

-7 - (-8) + (-3) + 6 - 2  =  -7 + 8 - 3 + 6 - 2

Now, working from left to right, we perform the indicated operations:

-7 + 8 comes out to 1, and so we have 1 - 3 + 6 - 2.

Continuing, we get -2 + 6 - 2, or 4 - 2, or 2

Answer 2

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

-7 - (-8) = 1

1 + (-3) = -2

-2 + 6 = 4

4 - 2 = 2
