Given the expression;


-11-(-6)

To solve this, we would use the method called PEMDAS. We can remember the order using PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, and Division (from left to right), Addition, and Subtraction (from left to right).

The solution can be seen below;


\begin{gathered} -11-(-6) \\ =-11+6 \\ =-5 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the answer is -5
