Step-by-step explanation:

Sample response: Marcus is correct. Jeremy squared -5 instead of 5. The negative is not within parentheses, so it is not squared.

Answer:

Alright, the answer to the equation -52+3= -49

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't know how the heck Marcus and Jeremy got -22 and 28 but both are wrong. If there were a picture so I could see their work, I would be able to figure it out.

Anyways, The math is:

-52 + 3 which is pretty much 52-3 and then the answer has a negative sign.

-52 goes up 3 because technically the negative sign is down. Counting up 3 from 52 equals -49.
