Question

What is 3 + -5= and is it a positive or negative number and how?

Answer 1

It is -2.  This is negative.  For instance, if you had 3 candies and your mother took away 5, you would not only have 0 candies, but you would owe your mother 2.  This is expressed as a negative number.  Please mark Brainliest!!!

Answer 2

The answer is -2.
Think of it as counting down when I’m the negative. Like the 3 + (-5). (-5)+1 is -4. So 3+(-5)=-2
