-2

Same as plus 3 minus 5. If you don't believe it, Put +10 in front and take it away afterwards : 10-5+3-10 is 8-10 is -2. If you keep the sign in front of each number, then you can switch around: (-5)+(+3) is (+3)+(-5) is (-2)

When you subtract a negative number, it is the same as adding the positive version of that number. So, -5 plus 3 is the same as -5 minus (-3), which simplifies to -5 + 3 = -2.
