The expression is given as,
[tex]-12-(-10)[/tex]Consider the property,
[tex]a\cdot(b+c)=a\cdot b+a\cdot c[/tex]Then the expression can be simplified as,
[tex]\begin{gathered} =-12+10 \\ =10-12 \\ =-2 \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus, the answer to the given expression is obtained as,
[tex]-12-(-10)=-2[/tex]Therefore, the required answer is -2.
