$$-(-8+(4-7)+(2-5-3))+((6-3)-(2-5-6)-12)$$

Evaluate

$$17$$

Solution Steps

Add -8 and 4 to get -4.

$$-\left(-4-7+2-5-3\right)+6-3-\left(2-5-6\right)-12$$

Subtract 7 from -4 to get -11.

$$-\left(-11+2-5-3\right)+6-3-\left(2-5-6\right)-12$$

Add -11 and 2 to get -9.

$$-\left(-9-5-3\right)+6-3-\left(2-5-6\right)-12$$

Subtract 5 from -9 to get -14.

$$-\left(-14-3\right)+6-3-\left(2-5-6\right)-12$$
