Answer:

-49

Explanation:

rule of thumb: whenever you have two negatives, they equal a positive! when you have one negative and one positive, it is a negative!

  1. let's start by going from left to right :))
  2. -24 -(-6) + (-31)
  3. -(-6) is actually + 6!
  4. -24 + 6 + (-31)
  5. +(-31) would be -31 because one - and one + is a -
  6. -24 + 6 - 31
  7. -18 - 31
  8. -49
