a
5 − (−6)
A horizontal number line is shown with labels from 0 and ends at 16. A blue arrow begins at 0 and ends at 5. Another blue arrow begins at 5 and ends at 11.

b
5 + (−6)
A horizontal number line is shown with labels from negative 8 and ends at positive 8. A blue arrow begins at 0 and ends at 5. A red arrow begins at 5 and ends at negative 1.

c
5 + 6
A horizontal number line is shown with labels from 0 and ends at 16. A blue arrow begins at 0 and ends at 5. Another blue arrow begins at 5 and ends at 11.

d
6 − 5
A horizontal number line is shown with labels from negative 8 to positive 8. A blue arrow begins at 0 and ends at 6. A red arrow begins at 6 and ends at 1.

Anytime

crispyrat · Answer

Let me try to explain this in a single traing of thought.

5-6 is -1 so the additive inverse means that -1+? is equal to 0
Using basic math that would then be 1
since b is 5+-6 then you would get -1 and -1+-1 is -2 
That means the answer is d because 6-5 is 1 and -1+1 is 0
