Because, unless the word "then" in the question is changed to "than", the phrase given means nothing at all. If the word "then" in the question is changed to "than", then the phrase is not ambiguous, even though it can mean, in mathematical terms, either [(-12 + 3) + 7] or [-12 + (3 + 7)], because both of these expressions have a value of -2, illustrating the commutative property of addition.
