To solve the expression (-6) - (+2), start by simplifying the addition or subtraction of positive and negative numbers.
In this case, (-6) - (+2) can be rewritten without the plus sign as (-6) - 2.
To subtract a number from another number, change the sign of the number being subtracted and then add it. Therefore, you have (-6) + (-2).
To add negative numbers, add their absolute values and retain the negative sign. In this case, the absolute value of -6 is 6 and the absolute value of -2 is 2.
So, (-6) + (-2) equals -8.
Remember, when you subtract a positive number, you can simply remove the plus sign and proceed with the subtraction. Adding a negative number is the same as subtracting, so you change the sign and perform addition.
Practice these steps with various examples to gain confidence and proficiency in solving similar expressions.
