Answer:

-8.

Step-by-step explanation:

How it is that

first the signs will change from -2.3 plus (-5.7)  to -2.3 - 5.7

then since both signs are negative

and the rule is

negative negative Positive so we will plus our numbers and when we plus our answer will be 8.

Since -5.7 is the largest number and it's sign is negative it's sign will also be negative making it -8
