Solution

Step 1: Open the brackets using the product of sign rules and separating the same sign terms
We know that product of two negative signs is positive.
$\Rightarrow - 26 - 20 + 33 - (- 33) + 21 + 24 - (- 25) - 26 - 14 - 34 = - 26 - 20 + 33 + 33 + 21 + 24 + 25 - 26 - 14 - 34 = (- 26 - 20 - 26 - 14 - 34) + (33 + 33 + 21 + 24 + 25)$
Step 2: Simplify the brackets and evaluate
$\Rightarrow (- 26 - 20 - 26 - 14 - 34) + (33 + 33 + 21 + 24 + 25) = - 120 + 136 = 16$
Hence, the result is $16$ .
