Answer:

To estimate the difference, we need to round each number to the nearest whole number and then subtract the rounded numbers.

Rounding each number to the nearest whole number, we get:

10 rounded to the nearest whole number is 10

19 rounded to the nearest whole number is 19

19 rounded to the nearest whole number is 19

4 rounded to the nearest whole number is 4

19 rounded to the nearest whole number is 19

-2 rounded to the nearest whole number is -2

Subtracting the rounded numbers, we get:

10 - 19 - 19 - 4 - 19 - (-2) = 10 - 19 - 19 - 4 - 19 + 2 = -49

Therefore, the estimated difference is -49.
