Math Problem Statement

-12.4 + 19.1 + (-4.3)

Solution

Let's calculate the expression step-by-step:

12.4+19.1+(4.3)-12.4 + 19.1 + (-4.3)

  1. Combine the first two numbers:

12.4+19.1=6.7-12.4 + 19.1 = 6.7

  1. Now add 4.3-4.3:

6.7+(4.3)=6.74.3=2.46.7 + (-4.3) = 6.7 - 4.3 = 2.4

So, the result is:

2.42.4
