THIS IS SO EASY!
Use the method of "Writing it as a sum". (meaning use addition signs.)
Use commutative property (Change order of expression of the same signs).
How to solve:
1.) They are all negatives so add.
-24 + (-26) + (-8)
-24 + - 26 + -8 They all have the same signs)
-50 + -8
-58
When you are writing it as a sum, you're basically adding it's additive inverse.
