Question

What is the difference?
− 3 − 6

Answer 1

-9

Explanation:

Using absolute value (6+3) you can add -6 to -3.

Answer 2

-9

Explanation:

If you find the -6 point on the number line and move to the left three spaces, you stop at -9. You are taking away three spaces from an already negative number. So, you move to the left to show you subtracting something.

Hope this helps! :)
