Additive inverse of (5-6) is (6-5),

as:

(5-6)+(6-5)=0

as:

(-1)+(1)=0

------------------------------

So:

(5-6)+(6-5)=0

5-6+6-5=0

5-6=-6+5

-------------------------

Left <--- -6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ---> Right

Move 5 places to the right of -6 and you should land on -1.
