Hey Miranda!

Let me help you out...

First, keep in mind that they just put these negative signs to make the thing looks difficult to solve :)

Do you remember this:
[tex]Minus * Minus = Plus [/tex]

Well this the same thing. We gonna multiply the two negative signs that are behind the parentheses together and make it plus sign

Here is how it works
[tex]8-[-(-3)] =8 + (-3) =8 - 3 =5[/tex]

The correct answer is option A (5)

Good luck with your studies, Miranda.
