What is the value of 7 + 3 - 5?

The correct answer is: 3

To find the value of the expression 7 + 3 - 5, you first need to carry out the operations in the right order. Start with the addition: 7 + 3 equals 10. Next, subtract 5 from this result: 10 - 5 equals 5. This calculation shows that the final result of the expression is 5. Therefore, the correct answer is 5, which correlates to one of the provided options. In this case, the evaluation of the original chosen answer, which was 3, reflects a misunderstanding of the arithmetic steps involved. The calculations demonstrate that careful attention to the sequence of operations leads to the correct conclusion of 5.
