To add integers, we need to have into account the signs of each number. If the signs are different (+, -), we need to subtract both numbers, and then put the sign of the number with the greatest absolute value (that number with the g.

In this case, we have:


-1+6

We see that both numbers have different signs, then, we need to subtract them and put the sign of the number with the greatest absolute value. In this case, this number is 6. Then, we have:


-1+6=6-1=5

The answer is 5.
