use number properties to simplify the following expression. -5+(5+3) show each step in simplifying the expression and explain which property you used in each step

Respuesta :

The expression is:

[tex]-5+(5+3)[/tex]

Now we always solve the operation inside the parenthesis, and this is an addition so the expression will be:

[tex]-5+(5+3)=-5+8[/tex]

Now we have a substraction so:

[tex]-5+8=3[/tex]
