To simplify the expression \( 3 - (-82) \), you need to remember that subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number:
\[
3 - (-82) = 3 + 82
\]
Now, calculate that:
\[
3 + 82 = 85
\]
Since 85 is positive, the result of \( 3 - (-82) \) is positive.
\[
3 - (-82) = 3 + 82
\]
Now, calculate that:
\[
3 + 82 = 85
\]
Since 85 is positive, the result of \( 3 - (-82) \) is positive.
