Question

The sum of -5 + ( -2 ) + 3 is -6.
A: True
B: False

Answer 1

Hello!

To solve this out, do it like this.

-5 + (-2) + 3 ---> -5 - 2 + 3 (the positive and negative cancel out)

-5 - 2 + 3 ---> -7 + 3

-7 + 3 = -4

The answer is false.

Hope this helps! ☺♥

Answer 2

False. The sum is -4:

-5 + -2 = -7
-7 + 3 = -4
