Hi there!

Here is what the rules says

+ * + = + (Plus times plus = plus)
+*- = - (Plus times minus = minus)
- * - = + (Minus times minus = Plus
- * + = - (minus times plus = minus)

You need to know the rules by heart because you will use it a lot.

So let see how it works with the problem

6 -(-7)
What does the rules say? It says
- * - = plus
So, we gonna use PLUS for the sign
6-(-7) = 6 + 7 = 13

13 is the correct answer.

I hope I helped. Please let me know if you have more questions.

Hello there! The answer would be:13

Remember ⬇️

Positive & positive = positive

Negative & positive = negative

Positive & negative = negative

Negative & negative = positive

For problems like this, you can use a number line! =)

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
