2 apples left
6 apples 8x6=48
12 - 4 = 8
Well, honey, if you've got 5 apples and you take away 3 apples, you're left with 2 apples. Then if you subtract another 8 apples, you're in the negative with -6 apples. So, the answer is -6a. Hope that clears things up for ya!
If 'take away 3' means 'giving away the 3' to another then the answer is two (2) apples. Otherwise, If 'take away 3' means 'keeping the 3' to yourself and sharing the five (5) apples, the answer is three (3) apples. However, if 'take away 3' means 'keeping the 3' to yourself and still have the five (5) apples then the answer is eight (8) apples.
