add or subtract,

-8-3

-8-3= -8+(-3)

3+8= -11

its it right or wrong???

Right.

o really o woow thanks

why did you say at the end

3+8 = -11
that is a false statement.

you were correct in saying
-8-3
=-8+(-3)
= -11

because it would be the same answer

and the smart one that i asked said that it was right..da!!

I agreed that the answer is -11. I figured you had just neglected to type the signs in the last part of your problem.

To add or subtract numbers, you simply need to follow the operations and rules of arithmetic. In this case, you want to subtract -3 from -8.

To subtract -3 from -8, you can rewrite it as a addition problem. Think of -3 as adding a negative number. So, -8 - 3 becomes -8 + (-3).

Now, you can add -8 and -3. Adding two negative numbers can be done by simply adding their absolute values and assigning a negative sign to the result. In this case, |-8| = 8 and |-3| = 3. So, -8 + (-3) becomes -8 - 3 = -11.

Therefore, the result of -8 - 3 is -11.
