Answer:

1

Explanation:

When adding a negative and a positive number, subtract the biggest number from the smallest (ignore the signs), so :


6-5=1

After you have your answer, keep the symbol of the bigger number (pay attention to the signs now). Since positive 6 is greater than negative 5, keep the positive. Add this symbol to the answer, making the answer positive.


-5+6=1
