Subtraction of integers:
\$ (- 10) - (- 3) - (+ 2) \$

The three integers are

\$ - 10 , - 3 , 2 \$

Subtraction problem turns into an addition problem

\$ ((- 10) - ( - 3 )) + (- 2) \$

After subtraction problem turns into an addition problem

\$ ((- 10) + 3) + (- 2) \$

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

\$( - 10 + 3 ) + (- 2) \$

After adding both positive and negative integers

\$(- 7) + (- 2) \$

Here we apply the rule of addition of negative integers

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

Let us add both the negative integers

\$ (- 7) + (- 2) \$

After adding both negative integers

\$-7 - 2 \$

After adding

\$ - 9 \$

Therefore, the subtraction of integers is \$ - 9 \$.

Incorrect; integer subtraction doesn’t involve subtracting the absolute value of 2 from the result

-5

Correct: When you add (+5) and subtract (-7), the result (-2) aligns with our calculation

-9

This claims (+5) − (+7) equals -1, yet our calculation reveals it equals -2, rendering it wrong

-7

This choice falsely states that adding 5 to -7 equals -3, conflicting with our precise result of -2

-11

Option

B
