Answer:

(-4)-(-2)-((-5)-(-7)+(-3)-(-8))

First, we simplify the expression inside the innermost parentheses:

(-5)-(-7)+(-3)-(-8) = (-5) + 7 - 3 + 8 = 7

Substituting the simplified expression into the original expression, we get:

(-4)-(-2)-((-5)-(-7)+(-3)-(-8)) = (-4) - (-2) - 7

Simplifying the expression inside the remaining parentheses:

(-4) - (-2) - 7 = -4 + 2 - 7

Combining like terms, we get:

-4 + 2 - 7 = -9

Therefore, the value of the expression is -9.

And there are no other possible answers (if it's not -9 nor -22, you probably pasted the wrong question or made a mistake in copying it).
