Answer:

-8

Explanation:

What is the value of this expression? 6 + (-9) - (-5)

6 + (-9) - (-5)

= 6 - 9 + 5

Following the rules of BODMAS, addition comes first before subtraction

= 6 - 14

= - 8

6 + (-9) - (-5) = -8

Note:

- * - = +

- * + = -

+ * - = -

+ * + = +

Then using BODMAS

B - bracket

O - of

D - division

M - multiplication

A - addition

S - subtraction
