Answer:

-2

Explanation:

You need to add a positive number and a negative number.

This is how you add a positive number and a negative number.

First, get rid of the signs and make them both positive.

Now you have 5 and 3.

Do a subtraction the way you first learned subtraction in elementary school, which is the larger number minus the smaller number.

5 - 3 = 2

The answer is either 2 or -2.

To finish the original addition, look at the two original numbers. 5 is greater than 3. 5, the greater value, is on a negative number, so the answer is negative.

3 + (-5) = -2
