Answer 1

To solve the expression \(-6 - (-8)\), we first need to remember that subtracting a negative number is the same as adding the positive equivalent of that number.

So the expression becomes:

\[
-6 + 8
\]

Now, we can simplify this:

\[
-6 + 8 = 2
\]

Thus, the answer is \(2\).

So the correct response is:

2
