Answer:

Explanation:

Why 3+-5=-2

Positive(+) multiply negative(-)=negative

Therefore it will be

+3-5

+3 means I have $3

-5 means I am owing $5

I then pay my $3,but am still owing $2,since am owing $2,the $2 would be writing as -2

Answer:

3 + -5 = -2 because adding a negative is basically subtracting.

So 3 + -5 = 3 - 5 = -2
