The easiest way to understand this using a number line and 1 chip. Draw a number line: |dw:1367295508074:dw| Place the chip at the +3 since that is the first number in the equation. Then, subtract 8 by moving the chip to the left 8 spaces. The chip should end up on -8. The hardest thing is that a positive plus a negative is a sometimes negative.( In this case it is negative. So, you should read the equation as 3 minus 8 equals negative 5. And you can go to this link for help http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/51684874e4b05937219b43ee
