By applying associative property of addition, we can rearrange the terms as: $-116 + (58-58)$. Since $58-58=0$, we are left with $-116 + 0 = -116$. Therefore, the correct choice is E, $-116$.

Apply the Associative Property of Addition to Find the Sum (−116+58)+(−58)( - 116 + 58 ) + ( - 58 )(−116+58)+(−58)
