6.5 + (−2) + 10.5 I could probably do this but its kind of hard to understand. Explain?

Hello! Let's work this problem from left to right to make things a bit easier ;)

6.5+(-2) is the same as 6.5-2, since adding a negative is the same as subtracting a positive. 6.5-2=4.5

Now, we have to add 10.5 to 4.5, which gives us the grand total of 15. I hope this helped! Let me know if you need anything else!
