Step-by-Step Solution

According to the order of operations, we first solve the exercise within parentheses:

4−7=−3 4-7=-3

Now we obtain:

37−(−3)= 37-(-3)=

Remember that the product of a negative and a negative results in a positive, therefore:

−(−3)=+3 -(-3)=+3

Now we obtain:

37+3=40 37+3=40
