Answer:

A. remove 2 negative tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

-5 -(-2) is equal to -3. Two negatives make a positive, so this expression can be rewritten as -5 + 2.

To show this, you are "taking away" 2 tiles (-2) so the answer is to remove 2 negative tiles.

This corresponds with answer choice A. remove 2 negative tiles.

Answer:

A. Remove 2 negative tiles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is -5 - (-2).

Allison begins with 5 negative tiles.

The expression says, we have to subtract -2 from - 5

So we have to get rid of -2 from -5.

Therefore, from 5 negative tiles, we have to get out 2 negative tiles.

When out 2 negative tiles, we will have 3 negative tiles.

The answer is A. Remove 2 negative tiles.
