Help to solve. Please Beak down answer.

Hint: "minus of minus is plus"

Another way of looking at it: Subtraction changes the sign of what is being subtracted, so:

. . . . .5 - (+2) = 5 + (-2)

. . . . .5 - (-2) = 5 + (+2)

Hope that helps.

-9 - (2.3)= -9+(?)

Don't simply state the problem again. Rather, explain why the suggestion didn't help.
