Exercise 6 Page 200

Instead of adding a negative number, you can subtract.

-17

Practice makes perfect

Let's perform the addition.

-6+(-11)

a+(- b)=a-b

-6-11

Subtract term

- 17

We can see that adding a negative number is the same as subtracting its positive counterpart. Below we will demonstrate by finding -6 and moving 11 units to the left on the number line

The resulting position, after moving to the left on the number line, is the sum. -6+(-11) = -17
