Question

which expression is equivalent to 3-(-5)

Answer 1

Here is the equation:

$3-(-5)$

When you're subtracting a negative number from a positive number, the sign will change. The - sign will become + and the negative number becomes positive.

$3- \rightarrow 3+ \\ -5 \rightarrow 5$

Here is your new equation:

$3+5$

All you need to do is add 3 and 5.

$3+5=8$

That means your answer is 8.
