3 I think the question is not 8 plus minus five, i think its 8 plus negative 5, which would still be three. ie. 8+(-5)=3 or 8+-5=3. the proper way to write 8 plus negative five is my first example
8 minus negative three or 8--3 equal positive 11. The double negative converts the minus sign into a plus sign and the negative into a positive.
positive 3
