Question

Evaluate 5+ (-11) - (-11)

Answer 1

5

Explanation:

To solve a problem with negatives, we use the following rule.

If it is like

x+(-y), it is equivalent to x-y

If the equation is like

(-x)-(-y), it is equivalent to (-x)+y

So,

5+(-11)=5-11=-6

(-6)-(-11)=(-6)+11=5

Your answer is 5.
