Procedural Documentation for Ledger Adjustments

A junior accountant is updating a company training manual and needs to document the exact mathematical procedure for simplifying the adjustment expression: $7 - (-4 - 3) - 9$. Write a brief entry for the manual that recalls the specific mathematical rules and the sequence of steps required to simplify this expression. Your response must identify which rule dictates where to start, explain how to handle the subtraction of the resulting negative integer, and state the final numerical result of the simplification.
