Sure, let's simplify the given expression step-by-step:
The expression is:
[tex]\[ (3.125) + (-3.9) - (2.46) \][/tex]
1. Start with the first two terms:
[tex]\[ 3.125 + (-3.9) \][/tex]
Adding a negative number is the same as subtracting it:
[tex]\[ 3.125 - 3.9 \][/tex]
2. Perform the subtraction:
Since [tex]\(3.125\)[/tex] is less than [tex]\(3.9\)[/tex], subtract 3.9 from 3.125:
[tex]\[ 3.125 - 3.9 = -0.775 \][/tex]
3. Next, subtract the third term:
[tex]\[ -0.775 - 2.46 \][/tex]
4. Perform the subtraction:
Adding another negative is the same as further subtracting:
[tex]\[ -0.775 - 2.46 = -3.235 \][/tex]
Therefore, the simplified value is:
[tex]\[ -3.235 \][/tex]
So, the answer to the expression [tex]\((3.125) + (-3.9) - (2.46)\)[/tex] is [tex]\(-3.235\)[/tex].
