Hey there! When we subtract a negative, we're doing the same as adding because you're taking away negatives, and you're doing the opposite of subtracting- adding/ Therefore, we have: -5 + 8 Now, we can think of a number line. If we have -5 and go 8 to the right because we're adding and getting closer to 0, we'd actually get positive 3 because you'd be going past 0 and into the positives. Therefore, the answer is positive :) Hope this helps!
