Subtract 8.6 from that sum.
Subtract 8.6 from that sum.
Step 1: Subtract the two negative numbers inside the parentheses:
-(-5.4) = +5.4
Step 2: Now, rewrite the expression with the simplified terms:
7.2 - 8.6 + 9.3 + 5.4
Step 3: Begin by performing the subtraction:
7.2 - 8.6 = -1.4
Step 4: Add the remaining numbers:
-1.4 + 9.3 + 5.4 = 13.3
Thus, the value of the expression 7.2 - 8.6 + 9.3 - (-5.4) is 13.3.
