"How many" is asking for an amount, not specifying an operation. It could just as easily be...
How many apples would you have if you started with 5 and someone gave you 2? (indicating addition) or How many apples would you have if you started with 5 and gave someone 2? (indicating subtraction) Other words in the sentence indicate the operation.
