Answer:

11a+3

Step-by-step explanation:

8a-(-3-5a)-2a

Open the bracket first

8a+3+5a-2a

Collect like terms

8a+5a-2a+3

13a-2a+3

11a+3

So the final answer is 11a+3

The error is the that when you open the bracket the minus outside the bracket will multiply everything inside the bracket...and -×-=+
