Of course! Let's break down the expression step-by-step and solve it:
We need to calculate the sum of the following numbers:
[tex]\[
-10 + (-2) + (+3) + (-15)
\][/tex]
Here's how we can solve it step-by-step:
1. First, manage the addition of the first two numbers:
[tex]\[
-10 + (-2) = -10 - 2 = -12
\][/tex]
2. Next, add the third number to the result:
[tex]\[
-12 + (+3) = -12 + 3 = -9
\][/tex]
3. Finally, add the last number to the result:
[tex]\[
-9 + (-15) = -9 - 15 = -24
\][/tex]
So, when we combine all the steps together, we get:
[tex]\[
-10 + (-2) + (+3) + (-15) = -24
\][/tex]
Therefore, the result is [tex]\( -24 \)[/tex].
