Question

2 - ( - 8 ) + ( - 3 ) =

Answer 1

Hey!

First, let's write the problem.
$2-\left(-8\right)+\left(-3\right)$
We know that, $-\left(-8\right)=+8$, so let's apply that
$=2+8+\left(-3\right)$
We have to add, $2+8=10$
$=10+\left(-3\right)$
We know that $+\left(-3\right)=-3$, so let's apply that.
$=10-3$
Subtract. $10-3=7$
$=7$

Our final answer would be 7!

Thanks!
