a)
\(5+\left(-7\right)+9+\left(-11\right)+13+\left(-15\right)\)
\(=\left[5+\left(-7\right)\right]+\left[9+\left(-11\right)\right]+\left[13+\left(-15\right)\right]\)
\(=\left(-2\right)+\left(-2\right)+\left(-2\right)=-6\)
b)
\(\left(-6\right)+8+\left(-10\right)+12+\left(-14\right)+16\)
\(=\left[\left(-6\right)+8\right]+\left[\left(-10\right)+12\right]+\left[\left(-14\right)+16\right]\)
\(=2+2+2=6\)
