_____

Write Expression: First, let's write down the expression as it is: $-5 + (b + 2)$ .
Add Parentheses: Now, we'll add the numbers inside the parentheses: $b + 2$ .
Combine Terms: Next, we add $–5$ to the result from the parentheses: $–5 + b + 2$ .
Final Result: Finally, we combine the like terms, which are the numbers: $-5 + 2 = -3$ , so we get $b - 3$ .
