THIS IS SO EASY! Use the method of "Writing it as a sum". (meaning use addition signs.) Use commutative property (Change order of expression of the same signs).
How to solve: 1.) They are all negatives so add. -24 + (-26) + (-8) -24 + - 26 + -8 They all have the same signs) -50 + -8 -58
When you are writing it as a sum, you're basically adding it's additive inverse.
