You asked:
Evaluate the expression: \(-12 + 7 - 5 + 8 - 12 + 7 - 5 + 8 - 12 + 7 - 5 + 8\)
MathBot Answer:
\[-12 + 7 - 5 + 8 - 12 + 7 - 5 + 8 - 12 + 7 - 5 + 8 = -6\]
\[\begin{aligned}-12 + 7 - 5 + 8 - 12 + 7 - 5 + 8 - 12 + 7 - 5 + 8& = -5 - 5 + 8 - 12 + 7 - 5 + 8 - 12 + 7 - 5 + 8\\& = -10 + 8 - 12 + 7 - 5 + 8 - 12 + 7 - 5 + 8\\& = -2 - 12 + 7 - 5 + 8 - 12 + 7 - 5 + 8\\& = -14 + 7 - 5 + 8 - 12 + 7 - 5 + 8\\& = -7 - 5 + 8 - 12 + 7 - 5 + 8\\& = -12 + 8 - 12 + 7 - 5 + 8\\& = -4 - 12 + 7 - 5 + 8\\& = -16 + 7 - 5 + 8\\& = -9 - 5 + 8\\& = -14 + 8\\& = -6\end{aligned}\]
