Please help!!!!!

Determine the answer to 3 + (−5) and explain the steps using a number line. (5 points)

Answer 1

when you add a positive and negative number together, you just have to pretend like the addition sign does not exist. so then you just have to subtract.

as demonstrated in the number line i have provided, you can see the steps i have explained.

the answer is therefore -2.
