Answer:

+25;+18;-10

Explanation:

Ok so let's break down the scenario step by step:

  • His uncle gave him $25 so that means it's positive so +25
  • Now he earned $18 so that means it is also positive so +18
  • And now he spent $10 which means it is negative so - 10

(And of you want to find out the amount left with him,

(25+18)-10

=43-10

=$33)

Hope this helps :)
