ANSWER

-13

Step-by-step explanation

We want to simplify:

-20 + 7

We can rearrange that as:

7 - 20

When a number is subtracting a number that is greater than it, the answer is the same vaue as the greater number subtracting the smaller but with a minus sign.

That is:

7 - 20

= -13

That is the answer.
