Answer:

6^-1

Explanation:

6^-6 - (-5) = 6^(-6 + 5) = 6^(-1)

A lot of things are going on in this question. Notice how the 5 is handled. It starts off in the denominator as - 5 and when brought to the numerator it becomes -(-5) which makes it + 5.

The answer is then easy. It is 6^(-6 + 5) = 6^-1

You could give the answer as 1/6 but that is not what the question says.
