Question

Find the value of: :
(a) (- 8) + (+ 5) + (- 3) + (- 2)
(b) (- 7) + (- 9) + (+ 4) + (+ 3)
(c) – 27 – (- 23)
(d) – 17 – 18 – (-35)
(e) – 12 – (-5) – (-125) + 270

WITH STEPS

Answer 1

• -8 + 5 -3 - 2

= -8 + 5 -5

= -8

• -7 - 9 + 4 + 3

= -7 - 9 + 7

= -7 -2

= -9

• -27 - ( -23)

= -27 + 23

= -4

• -17 - 18 -(-35)

= -17 - 18 + 35

= 0

• - 12 - (-5) - (-125) + 270

= -12 +5 +125 + 270

= 388
