Certainly! Let's add the numbers step by step:
1. Start with the first two numbers:
[tex]\[
-26 + 13
\][/tex]
2. Compute the sum:
[tex]\[
-26 + 13 = -13
\][/tex]
3. Add the next number to the result:
[tex]\[
-13 + 44
\][/tex]
4. Compute the new sum:
[tex]\[
-13 + 44 = 31
\][/tex]
5. Add the last number to the result:
[tex]\[
31 + (-36)
\][/tex]
6. Finally, compute the last sum:
[tex]\[
31 + (-36) = -5
\][/tex]
Therefore, the final result of adding [tex]\(-26 + 13 + 44 + (-36)\)[/tex] is:
[tex]\[
\boxed{-5}
\][/tex]
