Answer
$(-145) + 97 + (-365) + (-71) + 8$
$= (-145) + 97 + (-365) - (71 - 8)$
$= (-145) + 97 + (-365) - 63$
$= (-145) + 97 - (365 + 63)$
$= (-145) + 97 - 428$
$= (-145) - (428 - 97)$
$= (-145) - 331$
$= -(145 + 331)$
$= -476$
Hence, $(-145) + 97 + (-365) + (-71) + 8 = -476.$
$= (-145) + 97 + (-365) - (71 - 8)$
$= (-145) + 97 + (-365) - 63$
$= (-145) + 97 - (365 + 63)$
$= (-145) + 97 - 428$
$= (-145) - (428 - 97)$
$= (-145) - 331$
$= -(145 + 331)$
$= -476$
Hence, $(-145) + 97 + (-365) + (-71) + 8 = -476.$
