First add -2 and -6 together

Since these are both negitive signs you will add normally and and a negitive sign to the answer

-8

so you have...

-8 + 7

Since there is a negative (-8) and a positive (7) you will treat this as a normal subtraction problem, except your answer will have the sign of the biggest number

8 - 7 = 1

8 is the bigger number and has a negative sign therefore the answer is a negative number

so...

-8 + 7 = -1

-1

Hope this helped!
