Answer: -8

Explanation:

Given expression

16 - (-24) + (-8) - 16 + (12) - (36)

Expand parentheses and change signs when [-] sign is in front

=16 + 24 - 8 - 16 + 12 - 36

Combine all the terms through addition/subtraction

=40 - 8 - 16 + 12 - 36

=32 - 16 + 12 - 36

=16 + 12 - 36

=28 - 36

=
\boxed{-8}
