Please check your explanation for the rule governing the addition and subtraction. This is because
4-3+5 can be written as -3+(4+5) or (5-3) +4 which gives the same answer as 6. In the first case of my answer, I group like terms(positive and negative) and the second case . I rearranged the expression because -minus signs affect the numbers they're closest to moving to the right.
