Transcript text: Add, using the rule for order of operations if necessary: \[ -(9-2)-(10-7)= \] $\square$

Solution

Solution Steps

To solve the given expression, we need to follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS). First, we evaluate the expressions inside the parentheses, then apply the subtraction and negation.

Step 1: Evaluate the Expressions Inside the Parentheses

First, we evaluate the expressions inside the parentheses: \[ 9 - 2 = 7 \] \[ 10 - 7 = 3 \]

Step 2: Apply the Negation and Subtraction

Next, we apply the negation and subtraction: \[ -(7) - 3 = -7 - 3 = -10 \]

Final Answer

\[ \boxed{-10} \]
