Question

$(-10)-(+8)+(-3)-(-6)+(+7)-(-2)-8+(+1)$

Explanation:

Step1: Simplify sign operations

$(-10) - (+8) + (-3) - (-6) + (+7) - (-2) -8 + (+1)$
$= -10 - 8 - 3 + 6 + 7 + 2 - 8 + 1$

Step2: Calculate left to right

First sum negative terms: $-10 - 8 - 3 - 8 = -29$
Then sum positive terms: $6 + 7 + 2 + 1 = 16$

Step3: Combine the two results

$-29 + 16$

Answer:

$-13$
