Evaluate the Expression: -2-(-2)+3?4-(-2) Step by Step

Let's solve the left side first.

Let's remember the rule:

$-(-x)=+x$

Let's write the exercise in the appropriate form:

$-2+2+3=$

On the number line, we'll locate negative 2 and move two steps to the right (since 2 is greater than zero):

We can see that we reached the number 0, and now we'll move three more steps to the right (since 3 is greater than zero):

We can see that we reached the number 3.

Now let's solve the right side:

Again, let's remember the rule:

$-(-x)=+x$

Let's write the exercise in the appropriate form and solve it:

$4+2=6$

Now we can see that the right side is greater than the left side, therefore:

3 < 6
