Final answer:

When subtracting (+2) - (+5), the result is -3.


Step-by-step explanation:

To subtract (+2) - (+5), we start with 2 + tiles. Since we are subtracting (+5), we need to remove 5 tiles. However, we only have 2 tiles to start with, so we cannot remove all 5 tiles. Thus, the result of (+2) - (+5) is the difference between the number of tiles we have and the number of tiles we need to remove, which is a negative number. In this case, the result is -3.
