Answer 1

a negitive and negitive make a positive:

a - (-b) = a+d = c

so 3-(-2) is changed to

3+2

which then equals

5

Answer 2

Hey there! :)

3 - (-2) = ??

Let's keep in mind that a negative times a negative is always a positive!

In addition, let's also remember that parenthesis mean multiplication - so that's how we know that we're multiplying!

So, since a negative times a negative equals a positive, then we know that this question is essentially just asking us what 3 + 2 is!

In case we aren't sure how to do this, let's look at our fingers! We start out with 3 fingers, and add 2 more fingers to it! So, 3 fingers to 2 fingers equals 5 fingers!

Therefore, our answer is 5.

3 -(-2) = 5
