PLEASE ANSWER CORRECTLY

Answer 1

`\boxed{\underline{\bf \: ANSWER}}`

Adding -3 is equal to b. subtracting 3.

Take a look at the example (hint) they have given in the question.

`\sf \: 5 + ( - 3) = 2 \\ \sf \: 5 \: \underline{- 3} \: = 2 \\ \sf2 = 2`

We can see that, when we took + (-3) as - 3, the equation still worked. So, therefore -> Option B. is the correct answer.

Answer 2

`\large \boxed{\mathfrak{Answer \: with \: Explanation} \downarrow}`

• Okay, so first let's look at the hint they've provided. ⇨ 5 + (-3) = 2
• In this question, we need to find which operation fits with adding -3.
• Let's try to solve the example now.

`\sf \: 5 + ( - 3) = 2 \\ \sf 5 - 3 = 2 \\ \boxed{\bf \: 2 = 2}`

• From this example, it's clear that subtracting +3 is the same as adding -3.
• Hence, option B. subtracting 3 is the correct answer.
