Pretty Easy Math Problems!?

6-(-3)

6+3

9

Doesn't matter - comes out to the same number

Your answer is correct in that it handles the part in parentheses first.

6 - -3 = 6 + 3 = 9

6 - 2 + 5 = 4 + 5 = 9

You are right. Remember Order of operations:

Brackets

Exponents

Division

Multiplication

Addition

Subtraction

So...

6-(2-5)

6-(-3)

*double negative means subtraction because you are subtracting a negative number.

6+3

9

** why does subtracting make it addition?**

Think of a line diagram.

________________________

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

Now subtraction means go the opposite direction

so go to 6

_________X____________

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

Now go the opposite of -3

__________----->9______

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

Hope this helps a little

Simply, do everything in the bracket first. So, 2-5= -3. You are left with 6--3=9.

Or you can multiply the minus sign by everything in the bracket. So you will get 6-2+5=9.

By the way, your friend is wrong, not you. =)

Since 2-5 is in parentheses, you do that first.

6-(-3)

Subtracting a negative means you add the numbers, so the answer is 9.

6 - (2-5)=

(2-5)= -3

6 - ( -3)=

6 + 3=9

6-(2-5) = 6 -2 - (-5) = 6 -2 +5 = 9

simplify

2(5-3)-7 = 2(2) -7 = 4 -7 = -3

6-(2-5_

6-2+5 (the negative gets distributed, 2 negatives = a positive)

4+5

9

6-(2-5)

First step is to do what's in the parantheses.

2-5=-3

Then you'd have 6--3, like you said.

This means it's 6+3 or 9.
