The answer is -8. U would take the negative 10 (-10) and add negative 5 (-5) The answer is negative 15 (-15). Add positive 7 (7) the answer is negative (-8). I am no teacher, but the best way I figured these math equations out was 2 draw a sliding scale
A negative plus a negative equals a positive.
. -8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

Steps are then:-
10 left then 5 left giving 15 left of zero.
15 left then 7 right takes you to 8 left of zero.
Answer is - 8
