Answer 1

To calculate 1 - (-5), we can rewrite the subtraction of a negative number as an addition:

1 - (-5) = 1 + 5

Adding 1 and 5, we get:

1 + 5 = 6

Therefore, 1 - (-5) = 6.

Answer 2

on the number line

Answer 3

On the number line, starting from 0, we can represent 1 - (-5) as follows:

0 ----- (-5) --------------- 1 --------------- 6

Starting from 0, we move to the left by 5 units to reach (-5), and then move 6 units further to the right to reach 1. So, 1 - (-5) equals 6 on the number line.
