The value of
[tex]\begin{gathered} 3-(-2) \\ =3+2 \\ =5 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Note that we shall apply the rule in math which states that negative times negative becomes positive.
The negative signs between both numbers eventually becomes a positive sign.
Also, looking at the number line, we would see that 3 minus negative 2, means we would count towards the left (since its a subtraction) from 3 up till negative 2. So subtracting negative 2 from 3 would yield 5 (that is 5 units from 3 up to negative 2)
ANSWER:
The last option is the correct answer, that is, 5
