Answer 1

Subtract

Answer 2

I’m not sure how to read the expression you typed. Could you clarify the intended operations (plus, minus, multiply, divide, parentheses)?

Here are the most likely interpretations and their values — tell me which one you meant:

1) Sum: (−4.5) + (−3) + 1 + 2 = −4.5
2) Subtract each: (−4.5) − 3 − 1 − 2 = −10.5
3) Subtract negatives then add: (−4.5) − (−3) + 1 + 2 = 1.5
4) Subtract negatives then subtract others: (−4.5) − (−3) − 1 − 2 = −4.5

If none of these match, please rewrite the expression using explicit +, −, ×, ÷ and parentheses (for example: -4.5 - (-3) + 1 + 2) and I’ll compute it.
