Question

Solve: Show your work.
-2-(-5)=

Answer 1

3

Explanation:

First you turn the two negatives/minuses in -(-5 into a plus (you will get it later)

Next you have -2 + 5 which is 3

Or is you want to do it the less lazy way

First you gotta know that subtracting a negative number means you are adding to the first number

You have -2 Minus -5 so you add five to -2 which is 3

Answer 2

Since it is a parentheses we need to take it out, so we need to do -2-5 which is -7
