Answer:
-2
Step-by-step 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
