Step-by-step explanation:

Noting that

- (- ) is equivalent to addition

Given

13 + (- 12) - (- 5)

= 13 - 12 + 5

= 1 + 5

= 6 → C

Answer 2

Answer:

C) 6

Step-by-step explanation:

13 + (-12) - (-5) = 13 + (-12) + 5

                       = 1 +5

                      = 6

13 & (-12 ) have different sign, so subtract and put the sign of the greater number's sign.
