The expression \(-3 + (-2)\) represents a total movement of 3 units down, followed by an additional 2 units down.
In this context:
- The \(-3\) indicates a movement of 3 units down.
- The \(-2\) indicates an additional movement of 2 units down.
So, the overall movement can be understood as starting from a position and moving down 3 units, then moving down another 2 units, for a total movement of:
\[
-3 + (-2) = -5
\]
This means the ship ends up 5 units down from its starting position.
