The answer is $0$ .

$3 - (2^3 -: 1) + 5$

The operations are shown by PEMDAS:

First thing we have to do is take care of the expression inside the parenthesis , $(2^3 -:1)$

First, $2^3$ is the same thing as $(2)(2)(2)$ , or $8$ .

and $(8 -: 1) = 8$

So now the expression becomes:
$3 - 8 + 5$

Addition and subtraction goes by whatever is most on the left, so it simplifies to:
$-5 + 5$

So the answer is $0$ .

Hope this helps!
