Answer:

2.7

When you subtract a negative number, you are actually adding because the negatives cancel out. So, it will be -3.3+0.6, which is -2.7

Hi there! Your answer is 2.7

Explanation:

Add: -3.3+-0.6 = 2.7

When subtracting two negative numbers, this will result in a positive number since the negatives cancel each other out.

Hope this helps! :)
