For date arithmetic, see DATE_ADD as well as CURDATE.

An example:

SELECT CURDATE();
+------------+
| CURDATE()  |
+------------+
| 2019-03-05 |
+------------+

SELECT CURDATE() - INTERVAL 5 DAY;
+----------------------------+
| CURDATE() - INTERVAL 5 DAY |
+----------------------------+
| 2019-02-28                 |
+----------------------------+
