Given that a is the opposite number of 5 and B is 2 larger than the opposite number of a, how much larger is a than negative B

Given that a is the opposite number of 5 and B is 2 larger than the opposite number of a, how much larger is a than negative B

Because a is the opposite of 5
So a = - 5, 5 is the opposite of A
And B is two times larger than the opposite of A
So B = 5 + 2 = 7
So a - (- b) = a + B = - 5 + 7 = 2
That is, a is 2 times larger than negative B
