If the answer is negative 6 minus positive 3 wich way do i go??

Question

math integers

Answer 1

its -9.

because you start out with -6, then you are subtracting 3 more integers making it -9.

Answer 2

You would take the negative six, and subtract three. So it would be -9.

If two minuses are right next to each other, subtracting a positive number, you add

If one is a plus and one is a minus, you always subtract

If both are pluses, obviously you add.

Answer 3

-6 - 3 is the same as -(6+3).  In other words for subtraction, if the signs are the same, add the integers together and use the sign they have.  If it helps, use the words "take away" for the minus sign.  So if you have -6 (you're already six in the hole), and you take away 3 more, you'll be 9 in the hole.

Or think about it in terms of money.  If you owe $6 and then borrow $3 more, you owe $9.

Answer 4

-6-3 you would go down only when you subtract a negative do you go up into positive

Answer 5

to subtract, just add the opposite

-6-(+3)=-6+(-3)=-9

When you minus a positive number, you go to the left on the number line.  Start at -6 and go three to the left, you will end up at -9.

Answer 6

as in

x= -6 -(3)

x would = -9

Answer 7

distribute the negative so it will be -6 + -3 so that will equal -9 so down

Answer 8

if you're saying the question is -6 - +3 then you are just simply subtracting 3. the answer would be -9.

Answer 9

-6-3

-6+-3

-9

Answer 10

A negative minus a positive is like a negative plus a negative.

Ex:

-6 - 3= -6 + -3

A negative plus a negative will go further to the left on a number line

-6 + -3 = -9

Answer 11

Well if you've got -6 of something (you're in the hole), and you take away 3 more, then you're at -9
