-6 + -4 + 3 = -7
basically, even though there's a plus sign with negative 4, you still subtract it since it's a negative.

Explanation:

Hey there!

Here,


= - 6 + ( - 4) + 3

While working with them remember some rules;

  • (-) + (-) = sign (-) but add them.
  • (+) + (+) = sign (+) and add.
  • (+) - (+) = subtract but keep sign of greator number.
  • (-) -(-) = subtract and keep the sign of greator number.

Likewise in your question,


= - 6 - 4 + 3


= - 10 + 3


= - 7

Hope it helps...
