Verified Answer :

2 apples + 3 apples - 2 apples = 3 apples

You have 2 apples, get 3 more, and then lose 2 of them.

So, you HAVE 2 apples, and if you get 3 more, you can add it to the 2.
\(2 + 3 = 5\)

In total at the moment, you have 5 apples. Now, you lose 2 more. We can subtract that from our total number of apples.
\(5 - 2 = 3\)

We now know that you are left with 3 apples.
