Let's solve the problem step-by-step.
We are given the expression in cell 1 which is [tex]\(-46 - 36\)[/tex]. To find its value, we need to perform the subtraction.
1. Let’s start by writing down the expression:
[tex]\[ -46 - 36 \][/tex]
2. To subtract 36 from -46, we are essentially adding the negative value of 36 to -46. This can be visualized as:
[tex]\[ -46 + (-36) \][/tex]
3. When adding two negative numbers, the result is the sum of their absolute values, and the result will retain the negative sign.
4. Here, the absolute values of -46 and -36 are 46 and 36 respectively. Adding these together:
[tex]\[ 46 + 36 = 82 \][/tex]
5. Since both numbers we started with were negative, the final answer will also be negative:
[tex]\[ -82 \][/tex]
Thus, the value in cell 1 is:
[tex]\[
\boxed{-82}
\][/tex]
