There are many different ways to solve this problem. The simplest way is to count how many numbers. You can also use algebra: 2=-5+X 2+5=X X=7. You can subtract -5 from 2: 2-(-5)=2+5=7. You can also add the absolute Values: |-5|+|2|=5+2=7. I am sure there are many others, but these methods confirm the answer to be 7. Hope that helps.
