Answer: 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Mr. Doss pulled out 16 negative counters and 27 positive counters.

In integers we use negative sign "-" to represent the negative quantities.

So, we can represent 16 negative counters as -16.

Now, combined value of the counters = (-16) + 27

= 27-16

= 11

Hence, the combined value of the counters is 11.
