(-)5 - (-)(3v)

Hey there!

First, the minus sign is equal to -1 (in this case)

Now, let's distribute -1 by multiplying it times 5 and -3v:

-5+3v

or

3v-5

Both expressions are equivalent (equal to each other)

Hence, the answer is

[tex]\boxed{\boxed{\bold{3v-5}}}[/tex]

Hope everything is clear.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
