    Step-by-step explanation:

    The manager rides down 2 floors from 19 floor which means he stops at floor 17, the floor he rides down as negative integer = - 2. Then, he rides down 3 floors and it means he stops at floor 14. This means the number of floors he rides down from there = - 3

    then he rides to the first floor as there is no number 13 floor it means he rides down 12 floor = - 12

    the addition expression using negative integers to show the number of total floors the hotel manager rode down the elevator = - 2 + (-3) + (-12) = - 17
