Find the difference. (1 point)
6- (-9) =?
The difference between 6 and (-9) is 15.
Explanation: To find the difference, we subtract the smaller number from the larger number. Here, 6 is larger than (-9), so we subtract (-9) from 6:
6 - (-9) = 6 + 9 (remember that subtracting a negative number is the same as adding its positive)
= 15
Therefore, the difference between 6 and (-9) is 15.
