The correct Answer is:
To solve the expression \(1 - 2 + 3 - 4 + 5 - 6 + 7 - 8 + 9 - 10\), we can group the terms in pairs to make the calculation easier. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Group the terms We can group the terms as follows: \[ (1 - 2) + (3 - 4) + (5 - 6) + (7 - 8) + (9 - 10) \] ### Step 2: Calculate each group Now, we will calculate each group: - For the first group: \[ 1 - 2 = -1 \] - For the second group: \[ 3 - 4 = -1 \] - For the third group: \[ 5 - 6 = -1 \] - For the fourth group: \[ 7 - 8 = -1 \] - For the fifth group: \[ 9 - 10 = -1 \] ### Step 3: Add the results of the groups Now we add all the results from the groups: \[ -1 + (-1) + (-1) + (-1) + (-1) \] ### Step 4: Simplify the addition Adding these together gives: \[ -1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 = -5 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the final result of the expression \(1 - 2 + 3 - 4 + 5 - 6 + 7 - 8 + 9 - 10\) is: \[ \boxed{-5} \]
