Answer:

-92

Explanation:

-72 + (-30) + 10 =

-72+ -30

Since they both have the same sign, add and then take the sign

72+30 = 102 and then take the negative sign

-102

-102+10

They have opposite signs, so we subtract and take the sign of the larger

102 -10 = 92

And 102 was negative so take the negative sign

-92
