No - 2 minus 5 is 3. Not negative 3. Be careful when adding!
No. 3 - -2 = 5 -2 - 3 = -5
2 - (-3) = 5 (The minus a negative becomes a positive, thus 2 + 3 = 5).
It is a plus positive, so -7 subtracting -2 is negative 5 - -5 when you are subtracting a negative, you just add the amount it is worth. So, -7-(-2)=-7 + 2= -5
-2 - 3 = -5
