It's -12. It would not be -2 because when you are subtracting two negative numbers it's more like you're actually adding them. It would be like this-7+-5. Do you get what I mean?
To find the difference between -7 and -5, you can subtract -5 from -7.
When subtracting a negative number, you can think of it as adding the absolute value of the negative number.
In this case, subtracting -5 is equivalent to adding 5. So, -7 minus -5 becomes -7 + 5.
Adding -7 and 5 gives us -2.
Therefore, -7 minus -5 equals -2.
