Answer:

  8 + (-3) = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

A number line offers a suitable model. +8 is represented by a segment extending from 0 to 8. -3 is represented by a segment extending from 0 to -3. The addition of those numbers is modeled by placing those segments end-to-end. In the attachment, we have shown -3 placed so it starts at the end of +8. The other end of -3 lies at the sum: 5.

  8 + (-3) = 5
