1. Set up simplified!
5+(-3-6-(-1))
2. Do it across, in order! Shown below.

5+(-3)=2 2-6=-4 -4-(-1) -4+1=-3

So your answer should be -3.

Hope I helped!

The answer is -3. Adding a negative onto a positive is just like subtracting from the positive. So, first off, 5+(-3) is 2. Then, subtracting 6 from the 2 will give you a negative number, -4. Subtracting a negative changes the sign to be a plus, so you plus one onto the -4. This leaves you with the answer of -3.
