Answer 1

Answer:

-26

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum is the addition of two or more integers. The sum of negative and positive integers must always consider the sign before a number for the given numbers, we shall add them one by one as follows

-18+12=-6

-6+-27=-33

-33+-9=-42

-42+16=-26

Therefore, the sum is -26 which is not among the options given although this is the right answer

$\boxed {-26}$
