![## Problem 10: Solve the Equation
### Equation:
\[ 71 + (-81) + 35 + (-18) - 10 = \]
### Explanation:
To solve this equation, you will perform the following steps:
1. **Addition and Subtraction of Integers**: You need to combine the positive and negative numbers.
2. **Simplify Step by Step**:
- Start by simplifying the terms:
\( 71 + (-81) \) which results in \( -10 \).
- Add \( 35 \) to the result:
\( -10 + 35 = 25 \).
- Subtract \( 18 \):
\( 25 + (-18) = 7 \).
- Finally, subtract \( 10 \):
\( 7 - 10 = -3 \).
### Solution:
The final answer is \( -3 \).](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F20a4260f-86cb-48fb-a442-b0ebfeee96a2%2F6597ef27-ad36-448d-9503-b48afa5d9d2f%2Fxeqkijj_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
