Answer:

9

Explanation:

Based on the algebraic rules for subtracting negative numbers,

when you subtract a negative number, the two negative signs cancel out and instead becomes an addition sign.

For example:

a - -b = a+b

-a - -b = -a + b

Therefore, following this rule,

the equation -51-(-60)

will change the -(-60) into a +60, so

-51 + 60

60-51 = 9
