To subtract −6−(−8), we need to apply the rules of subtracting negative numbers.
First, remember that subtracting a negative number is the same as adding its positive value. Therefore, −(−8) becomes +8.
So, −6−(−8) becomes −6+8.
Adding −6 and 8 gives us 2. Therefore, the correct answer is 2.
To subtract -6 from -8, you can rewrite the expression as -8 + 6.
Now, performing the addition, we have -2 as the result.
