%28-3%29%2B%28-5%29%2B%28%2B4%29-%28-6%29-%28%2B2%29 Start with the given expression


%28-8%29%2B%28%2B4%29-%28-6%29-%28%2B2%29 Add -3 and -5 to get -8


%28-4%29-%28-6%29-%28%2B2%29 Add -8 and +4 to get -4


%28-4%29%2B%286%29-%28%2B2%29 Rewrite %28-4%29-%28-6%29 as %28-4%29%2B%286%29


%282%29-%28%2B2%29 Add -4 and 6 to get 2


0 Subtract +2 from 2 to get 0


So %28-3%29%2B%28-5%29%2B%28%2B4%29-%28-6%29-%28%2B2%29=0
