Solving Arithmetic Expression with Multiple Parentheses

To solve the expression given in the image, you need to follow the order of operations and signs. Starting from the innermost parentheses and moving outward: The expression inside the innermost parentheses is -12. As we move outward, each set of parentheses inverts the sign: 1. -( -12 ) becomes 12 2. +( 12 ) remains 12 (since positive sign doesn't change the value) 3. -( 12 ) changes it to -12 4. And finally, -( -12 ) changes it back to 12 So the final answer to the expression is 12.
