Well, darling, when you have a positive 8 and you subtract a negative 3, you're basically adding 3 to 8. So the answer is 11. Math doesn't have to be complicated, honey, just remember to keep those signs straight.

When you subtract a negative number, it is the same as adding its positive counterpart. Therefore, positive 8 minus negative 3 is the same as positive 8 plus 3, which equals positive 11.

When you subtract a negative from a positive, its like adding a positive. 8-(-3) is the same as 8+3. Always remember, subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive.
