To subtract the expressions, follow the order of operations:

3 - (-5) - (-2)

First, we simplify the negative signs:
3 + 5 - (-2)

Then, we simplify the double negative by changing the subtraction to addition:
3 + 5 + 2

Finally, we add the numbers together:
= 10

To plot the solution on the number line, we locate the number 10.
