The mathematical expression you provided -4 + 7 is correct.
The result of the operation is 3.
You are adding 7 to -4, so you would start with -4 and count up 7 steps which gives you 3 as a result.
In mathematical notation, the plus sign (+) indicates addition and the minus sign (-) indicate subtraction. In this case you have -4+7 so it's -4 plus 7.
