Question 52

What is the value of 5 - (-3)?

8Bonne réponse
2
-8
-2

Explication

Subtracting a value is the same as adding its opposite, and the opposite of -3 is 3, so the line becomes five plus three and the total grows. A result of 2 reads the two signs as a single subtraction and takes three away when the rewrite calls for three to be added.
