Math Problem Statement

(-5) - (-5) + (-5) -2

Solution

Let's break this down step by step:

(5)(5)+(5)2(-5) - (-5) + (-5) - 2

  1. The first operation is subtracting 5-5 from 5-5: 5(5)=5+5=0-5 - (-5) = -5 + 5 = 0

  2. Now the expression becomes: 0+(5)20 + (-5) - 2

  3. Next, add 5-5 to 00: 0+(5)=50 + (-5) = -5

  4. Finally, subtract 2 from 5-5: 52=7-5 - 2 = -7

So, the result of the expression is: 7-7
