-3
Explanation:
Since we have the + sign, we know that we are finding the sum. The process in which we find the sum of a positive and negative number, we, technically-speaking, kind of incorporate subtraction.
In this case, because we know that |-80| is greater than |77|, we must find the difference between 80 and 77, and then put the negative sign in front of the difference. Why? Because -80 has the greater absolute value.
