Replace each letter with it's value, so:
= (5*-2) + (-3*2) + 3
= -10 -6 +3
= -13
Answer:
$0
Step-by-step explanation:
A part-time landscaper made $8996.32 last year.
She claimed herself as an exemption for $3650 and had a $5700 standard deduction
Exemption means not subject to taxation.
Deduction means taking some amount of your income for the year, and not have to pay taxes on it.
So, 

Since Her income is lower than the exemption and the standard deduction.
So, her taxable income last year was $0.
Thus Option D is correct.
I'm not good with intigers, but if you added two negative intigers together wouldn't it still be negative? If you added -1 to -2 you'd get -3. It would always be less than the two original integers.
