Question

Find the value of : -15-(-2)-71-8+6

Answer 1

Here we are given an expression  -15 - (-2) - 71 - 8 + 6

We have to simplify this expression

Rules for addition and subtraction of signs

- - = +

- + = -

+ + = +

The final answer will have the sign of the larger number

-15 - (-2) - 71 - 8 + 6 = -15 + 2 - 71 - 8 + 6

                               = -13 - 71 - 8 + 6

                              = -84 - 2

                             = -86

Hence, the value of -15 - (-2) - 71 - 8 + 6 will be -86

Answer 2

• As per the data given in the question, we have to determine the value of the given expression.

       Given data:- $-15-(-2)-71-8+6.$

       To find:- the value of the given expression.

       Solution:-  

• Here, we will use BODMAS RULE.  
• BODMAS RULE:- It is a correct order to solve the mathematical expression.
• Where, B stands for bracket
• O stands for of
• D stands for divide
• M stands for multiplication
• A stands for addition
• S stands for subtraction.

       Therefore,

         $=-15-(-2)-71-8+6\\=-15+2-71-8+6\\=8-94\\=-86.$

 Hence the value will be $-86.$
