What is your question?

OpenStudy (igreen):

He LOST 6 points, do you think that's addition or subtraction?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What @iGreen said! ^^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subract

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yes, so we subtract 6 from 2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good, good.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4

OpenStudy (igreen):

Which one shows that?

OpenStudy (igreen):

That's actually 2 - 6, not 6 - 2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, no. We are doing this: 2 - 6 = ? Not 6 - 2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C or D

OpenStudy (igreen):

Good job eliminating A and B. Which one shows adding -6?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D

OpenStudy (igreen):

Correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct!

OpenStudy (igreen):

C is obviously incorrect..it adds 2 + 6 and says the answer is -4..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks for the help i actually understand now :)

OpenStudy (igreen):

That's what we're here for :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):
