1. The problem asks to find the difference between $-22$ and $10$. 2. The difference between two numbers $a$ and $b$ is calculated as $a - b$. 3. Substitute the values: $$-22 - 10$$ 4. Simplify the expression by combining the terms: $$-22 - 10 = -22 + (-10)$$ 5. Add the two negative numbers: $$-22 + (-10) = -(22 + 10) = -32$$ 6. Therefore, the difference is $-32$.
