-5 is lower
5 degrees below 2 Celsius is -3 Celsius.
Subtracting a positive number from any other number results in a lower value. For example, subtract 5 from 7: 7 - 5 = 2 It is exactly the same if the positive number is subtracted from a negative number. Subtract 5 from -3 for example: -3 - 5 = -8 The value of the result is lower and the result will always be negative.
Negative 3 is greater than negative 5
negative 3, because on a number line, the negatives are lower when the absolute value is higher(simply stated). Basically, remember that negatives a re opposite the properties of positive.
The answer to this depends on what you are doing with the numbers..... * A negative added to a negative gives a negative (-3) + (-5) = -8 * A negative subtracted from a negative may give either a negative or a positive (-3) - (-5) = +2 (-5) - (-3) = -2 * A negative multiplied by a negative gives a positive (-3) x (-5) = +15 * A negative divided by a negative gives a positive (-3) ÷ (-5) = +0.6
5 + (-3) + (-5) = -3
negative 5
3 negative 5 and 3 equals negative 2 easy question (-5) + 3 = (-2)
3
No, as that 3 is positive, and negative 5 is not.
(-5) + (-3) = -8
The answer is 8. 5-(-3)(subtracting a negative is the same as 5+3(adding a positive).
