To solve the expression [tex]\((+12) + (+14) + (-10)\)[/tex], let's break it down step by step.
1. Identify the numbers and their signs:
- The first number is [tex]\(+12\)[/tex].
- The second number is [tex]\(+14\)[/tex].
- The third number is [tex]\(-10\)[/tex].
2. Combine the first two numbers:
- Start with [tex]\(+12\)[/tex] and [tex]\(+14\)[/tex]. Adding these two numbers gives:
[tex]\[
12 + 14 = 26
\][/tex]
3. Add the third number to the result:
- Now take the sum from the previous step, [tex]\(26\)[/tex], and add the third number, [tex]\(-10\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
26 + (-10) = 26 - 10 = 16
\][/tex]
So, the result of the expression [tex]\((+12) + (+14) + (-10)\)[/tex] is [tex]\(16\)[/tex].
