Answer 2

You need to find the additive inverse of +5. So the opposite of that is -5. Make sure you draw a long line on the bottom of the problem. Cross out the + and -5 and subtract -11 by -5. Since the sign are the same, you add. Bring down y and the = sign. So the answer is -16. Check: -16 + 5 = -11 Hope I explained well.
