STEP 1

What is this asking?
Add two groups of numbers together, keeping the order of operations in mind!
Watch out!
Don't forget to handle those negative numbers correctly!

STEP 2

1. Simplify the first group
2. Simplify the second group
3. Add the results

STEP 3

Let's simplify the expression inside the first set of brackets: $10 + (-6)$.

STEP 4

When you add a negative number, it's like subtracting!
So, $10 + (-6)$ is the same as $10 - 6$.

STEP 5

Calculate: $10 - 6 = 4$.

STEP 6

Now, let's simplify the expression inside the second set of brackets: $8 + (-12)$.

STEP 7

Again, adding a negative is like subtracting!
So, $8 + (-12)$ is the same as $8 - 12$.

STEP 8

Calculate: $8 - 12 = -4$.

STEP 9

Now, let's add the results from the two groups: $4 + (-4)$.

STEP 10

Adding a negative number is like subtracting!
So, $4 + (-4)$ is the same as $4 - 4$.

STEP 11

Calculate: $4 - 4 = 0$.

The final answer is $\boxed{0}$.
