Hi,

Answer: -11.7

My work: This problem can be easily achieved by taking the number -2.7 and subtracting it with 5.9. (-2.7 - 5.9) Your next step would be to taking the number -8.6 and subtracting it with 3.7. Which brings it to your answer -11.7.

My Numerical work:

1. -2.1+(-5.9)+(-3.7)

2. -2.1 - 5.9 - 3.7 = -11.7

I Hoped I Helped!

Combine. Note that one positive and one negative = one negative

-2.1 + (-5.9) + (-3.7) = -2.1 - 5.9 - 3.7 = -11.7

-11.7 is your answer

hope this helps
