Answer 2

Answer:

2 exceeds -5 by 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Exceeds in mathematics means "greater than a number" or "more than a number". For e.g.

1. 3 exceeds 2 by 1 (as 3 - 2 = 1).
2. 5 exceeds 3 by 2 (as 5 - 3 = 2)
3. 100 exceeds 50 by 50 (as 100 - 50 = 50)

• Precedes in mathematics means " less than a number".

• In order to find out, by how much does 2 exceeds -5, we subtract 2 from -5.
• Subtracting 2 from -5;

2 - (-5)

= 2 + 5

= 7

So, 2 exceeds -5 by 7. The correct answer is 7.
