-3 + -5 + 1
Consider that "+ -" is just another way of saying "minus" or " - " (I actually do this all the time personally. Makes it easier to understand numbers as negatives and not negative as a function).
So we have:
- 3 - 5 + 1
Combine the negatives together:
- 8 + 1
Now combine these two together:
-7
