Answer:

-5

Explanation:

This can be added/subtracted simply. Just take into account the negative symbols.

We'll start with the first two numbers:

(-3)+(5)

We have a negative number, -3. We'll add 5 positive numbers.

-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2

(-3)+(5) = 2.

Now that we have this number, we add it to the final number.

(2)+(-7)

We may be adding, but we are adding a negative number, so we are actually subtracting. We adding 7 negative points to the number 2.

2, 1, 0, -1, -2, -3, -4, -5.

Thus, our final answer is -5.
