Summary for removing parentheses for addition and
subtraction of signed numbers:
For addition: a  (+b) = a + b a + (–b) = a – b
For subtraction: a – (+b) = a – b a – (–b) = a + b
Example C. Remove the parentheses, then combine.
a. –6 – (–8) – (–2) – (9) remove “( )”
= –6 + 8 + 2 – 9
= 8 + 2 – 6 – 9 = 10 – 15 = –5
