To simplify the given expression [tex]\(35 + (-13) + (+8) - (-6)\)[/tex], follow these steps:
1. Start with the initial expression:
[tex]\[ 35 + (-13) + (+8) - (-6) \][/tex]
2. Step 1: Simplify [tex]\(35 + (-13)\)[/tex]:
- Adding a negative number is the same as subtraction.
- So, [tex]\(35 + (-13) = 35 - 13 = 22\)[/tex].
3. Step 2: Add [tex]\(+8\)[/tex] to the result from Step 1:
- [tex]\[ 22 + 8 = 30 \][/tex]
4. Step 3: Subtract [tex]\(-6\)[/tex]:
- Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding that number.
- So, [tex]\(30 - (-6) = 30 + 6 = 36\)[/tex].
Thus, the simplified result of the expression is [tex]\( 36 \)[/tex].
The best answer is:
A. 36
