Given numbers are 2, 5, 7, -3, -5 and -9.
(1) _____ + _____ + _____ = -10
-3 + (-9) + 2 = -3 - 9 + 2
= -12 + 2
= -10
-3 + -9 + 2 = -10
(2) _____ + _____ + _____ = 9
5 + 7 + (-3) = 5 + 7 - 3
= 12 - 3
= 9
5 + 7 + -3 = 9
(3) _____ + _____ - _____ = 21
5 + 7 - (-9) = 5 + 7 + 9
= 12 + 9
= 21
5 + 7 - -9 = 21
