Answer:
C. Because it is 5 units to the left of 3 on a horizontal number line
Step-by-step explanation:
Directed numbers are numbers which has direction i.e either a negative or positive sign before it. This implies that all numbers are directed, since a number without a sign is taken to be positive.
Thus from the given expression,
3 + (-5) = 3 - 5
= -2
So that,
3 + (-5) = -2
Expressing this on the number line, -2 is 5 units to the left of 3. Thus option C is appropriate.
