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.
Subtract.
3−(−5)−(−2)
Plot the solution on the number line.
