Q. Subtract.

\newline

-2-3=

Identify Signs: Identify the signs of the numbers involved in the subtraction. $\newline$ Both $-2$ and $-3$ are negative numbers.
Add Absolute Values: When subtracting two negative numbers, we actually add their absolute values. $\newline$ The absolute value of $-2$ is $2$ , and the absolute value of $-3$ is $3$ . $\newline$ Add $2$ and $3$ .
Perform Addition: Perform the addition of the absolute values. $2 + 3 = 5$
Determine Final Sign: Determine the sign of the final answer. $\newline$ Since we are subtracting a negative number ( $-3$ ) from another negative number ( $-2$ ), the result will be negative.
Combine for Final Answer: Combine the result from Step $3$ with the sign from Step $4$ to get the final answer. $\newline$ The final answer is negative, so $-2 - (-3) = -5$ .
