Math Problem Statement

(−18)−(23)−(−12)+(−6)

Solution

Let's break this down step by step:

The original expression is:

(18)(23)(12)+(6)(-18) - (23) - (-12) + (-6)

  1. First, simplify each term:
    • (18)(-18) stays the same.
    • (23)(-23) stays the same.
    • (12)-(-12) turns into +12+12 (since subtracting a negative is like adding).
    • (+(6))(+(-6)) stays as 6-6.

So, the expression now looks like this:

1823+126-18 - 23 + 12 - 6

  1. Now, perform the operations from left to right:
    • 1823=41-18 - 23 = -41
    • 41+12=29-41 + 12 = -29
    • 296=35-29 - 6 = -35

Thus, the result is:

35\boxed{-35}

  3. (10)5+(20)+7(-10) - 5 + (-20) + 7
  4. (22)(13)+(15)9(-22) - (-13) + (-15) - 9
  5. 60+(50)25+(5)60 + (-50) - 25 + (-5)

Tip: Remember, subtracting a negative number is the same as adding its positive value.
