Answer: 3

Step-by-step explanation: First, to make this easy, let's rewrite the equation:

-7 + 10

I did this because whenever you change subtraction to an addition problem, with decimals, you need to change the sign of the number on the right side (always) So, (-7) - (-10) is the same as (-7) + 10.

So, to make this even easier, we can model this as 10 - 7, which is 3. As we know, it's the same as (-7) + 10 because we are adding 10 more to (-7) which is 3. Also, if you can, using a numberline really helps to! I hope this helped!
