Subtraction of integers:
\$ (+ 2) - (+ 3) - (+ 5) \$

The three integers are

\$ 2 , 3 , 5 \$

Subtraction problem turns into an addition problem

\$ ((+ 2) + (- 3)) + (- 5) \$

If we follow the addition rule of positive and negative integers

\$ (+) + (-) = "use the sign of larger absolute value number" \$

Let us add both the positive and negative integers

\$ (2 + (- 3)) + (- 5) \$

After adding the both positive and negative integers

\$( 2 - 3 ) + (-5) \$

Simplify the both positive and negative integers

\$(- 1) + (- 5) \$

Here we apply the rule of addition of negative integers

\$ (-) + (-) = (-) \$

Let us add both the negative integers

\$ - 1 + (- 5) \$

Simplify the negative integers

\$- 1 - 5 \$

After adding

\$ - 6 \$

Therefore, the subtraction of integers is \$ - 6 \$.

When adding (+2), (-3), and (-5), the result is -6, making this option incorrect as it suggests -4

-4

This option’s claim of -2 contradicts the actual sum of (+2), (-3), and (-5), which is -6

-2

This option is incorrect because when you add (+2), (-3), and (-5), you get -6, not -1

-1

This option suggests -4, but the correct result of adding (+2), (-3), and (-5) is -6

-6

Option

A
