Answer 2

Hello there!

In order to solve integers we would need a number with both, positives and negatives 

Remember this method it MIGHT help you out with your assignments like these

$negative + negative = positive \\ \\ positive + negative = negative \\ \\ positive + positive = positive \\ \\ negative + positive = negative$


We have $two$    $negatives$ in this problem, so this means our answer would be a $positive/negative$ result 

So, $-5 + -3 = -8$

Therefore your $answer$ would be: $-8$

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day/night
