Solving a Subtraction Expression with Parentheses
The expression given in the image is:
\( 2 - 35 - (-6 - 3) \)
Let's solve this step by step:
First, resolve the expression inside the parentheses.
\( -6 - 3 \) equals \( -9 \).
Now the expression should look like this:
\( 2 - 35 - (-9) \)
Next, we deal with the double negative in front of the 9 by converting it to a positive because subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive.
So, it becomes:
\( 2 - 35 + 9 \)
Now, perform the subtraction and addition from left to right:
\( 2 - 35 = -33 \)
And then,
\( -33 + 9 = -24 \)
Thus, the final answer is:
\( -24 \)
