Simplify the expression (-7)+6+[-(2-3)]
Order of operations: Parenthesis, exponent, (Multiply & Divide), (Add & Subtract)
(-7)+6+[-(2-3)] do inside parenthesis first: 2-3 = -1
(-7)+6+[-(-1)] inside: -(-1) = 1
(-7)+6+[ 1 ] now it is all + and -, do it left to right: (-7) + 6 = -1
(-1) + [ 1 ] :-1 + 1 = 0
answer = 0
