Question

subtract.
3 - (-6) =
-5 - (-4) =

Explanation:

Step1: Simplify \( 3 - (-6) \)

Using the rule that subtracting a negative is adding the positive, so \( 3 - (-6)=3 + 6 \).
\( 3+6 = 9 \)

Step2: Simplify \( -5 - (-4) \)

Using the same rule, subtracting a negative is adding the positive, so \( -5 - (-4)=-5 + 4 \).
\( -5 + 4=-1 \)

Answer:

For \( 3 - (-6) \), the answer is \( 9 \); for \( -5 - (-4) \), the answer is \( -1 \)
