Question

10/3+[2+(-10/3)]+(-12)?

Answer 1

\(\dfrac{10}{3}+\left[2+\left(-\dfrac{10}{3}\right)\right]+\left(-12\right)\)

= \(\dfrac{10}{3}-\dfrac{4}{3}-12=-10\)

Answer 2

\(\dfrac{10}{3}+\left[2+\left(-\dfrac{10}{3}\right)\right]+\left(-12\right)\)

\(=\dfrac{10}{3}+-\dfrac{4}{3}+\left(-12\right)\)

\(=2+\left(-12\right)\)

\(=-10\)

Answer 3

\(\dfrac{10}{3}+\left[2+\left(\dfrac{-10}{3}\right)\right]+\left(-12\right)\)

\(=\dfrac{10}{3}+\left(\dfrac{-10}{3}\right)+2+\left(-12\right)\)

\(=0+2+\left(-12\right)\)

\(=-10\)
