Option A:

–6 – (–1)

Solution:

Minus symbol are given in the diagram.

There are 6 minus symbol in the diagram.

From that expression 1 minus symbol is cancelled.

To find which expression represents this situation:

Option A: –6 – (–1)

Total number of minus = –6

From this cancel one minus: –6 – (–1)

–6 – (–1) = –6 + 1 = –5

So, remaining minus are –5.

This is the correct answer.

Option B: –6 –1

–6 –1 = –7

But note that remaining 5 minus are only there in the diagram.

So, this is not correct answer.

Option C: –5 – (–1)

Totally 6 minus in the problem. But here only 5 minus are given.

So, this is not correct answer.

Option D: –5 –1

Totally 6 minus in the problem. But here only 5 minus are given.

So, this is not correct answer.

Hence –6 – (–1) is the correct expression which represented the diagram.
