`\large\text{Question reads \underline{\underline{What is the \boxed{\large\text{DIFFERENCE}} between -5 \& 3}} ?}`

`\large\text{Fun fact: you can use a number line to find your result as well.}\\\large\text{For example in this equation you START at -5 and move down 3}\\\large\text{spaces to your left}`

`\large\text{REMEMBER: we said difference means \boxed{\large\text{subtract}}, so we have to}\\\large\text{\underline{subtract} both numbers from each other to find their differences.}`

`\large\text{-5 - 3}\\\large\text{= \bf -8}`

`\large\text{So, the DIFFERENCE between -5 \& 3 is \boxed{\bf -8}}`
