Evaluate -60+ (87)-(-12)

Answer 1

To evaluate the expression \(-60 + (87) - (-12)\), we can follow these steps:

1. Simplify the expression inside the parentheses: \( (87) \) is just \( 87 \).

2. Rewrite the expression: \(-60 + 87 - (-12)\).

3. The minus in front of \(-12\) becomes addition, so we can rewrite it as: \(-60 + 87 + 12\).

4. Now, we can calculate it step by step:

   • First, calculate \(-60 + 87\): \[ -60 + 87 = 27 \]
   • Next, add \(12\) to \(27\): \[ 27 + 12 = 39 \]

Thus, the final result is:

\[ \boxed{39} \]
