Answer:

negative 5 plus positive (normal) 6 is 1

the answer is 1

Explanation:

6 is a positive number, it makes things higher.

5 is a negative number, it makes things lower

this is also the same as 6 - 5, which if you had higher numbers could be a negative number depending on which is bigger. since 6 is bigger in this case, the answer is positive. if it was negative 7 plus 6, the answer would be -1 or negative one. if it was negative six plus positive six, the answer would be zero since they cancel each other out.
