To solve this arithmetic expression, we can use the order of operations, also known as PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division from left to right, and Addition and Subtraction from left to right).
Let's simplify the expression step by step:
1. Start by evaluating the expression inside the parentheses:
4 - (-2) - 8 - (-5)
The double negative (-2) becomes positive, so we can rewrite the expression as:
4 + 2 - 8 - (-5)
2. Next, simplify the subtraction with a negative number:
4 + 2 - 8 + 5
3. Now, add and subtract from left to right:
6 - 8 + 5
4. Perform the first subtraction:
-2 + 5
5. Finally, perform the addition:
3
Therefore, the value of the arithmetic expression is 3. Hence, the correct answer is option c) 3.
