ANSWER

C. 7

EXPLANATION

We want to evaluate

[tex]2 - ( - 8) + ( - 3) [/tex]

We use the order of operations PEDMAS.

Dealing with the parenthesis first,we have

[tex]2 - - 8+- 3[/tex]

Note that:

[tex] - - = + [/tex]

and

[tex] - + = - [/tex]

Our expression now becomes:

[tex]2 + 8 - 3[/tex]

Next, we add to get:

[tex]10 - 3[/tex]

We finally subtract to get,

[tex]7[/tex]

The correct answer is C

Hello!

The answer is: C. 7

Why?

To solve the problem, first, we need to consider the signs out and inside of the parenthesis.

We must remember the following rule:

[tex]--=+\\+-=-[/tex]

We are given the following expression:

[tex]2-(-8)+(-3)[/tex]

Then, we can rewrite it using the rule of the signs, we have:

[tex]2--8+-3=2+8-3=2+8-3[/tex]

[tex]2+8-3=10-3=7[/tex]

Hence, the correct option is C. 7.

Have a nice day!
