Answer 1

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.
