Let's fill in the blanks:

1. Adding an additive inverse is the **same operation** as subtracting.

2. a - **b** = a + (-b)

3. (-5) - 3 = (-5) + **(-3)**

4. **5 = 5** = 5 + (6) [This statement seems to be incorrect; it should relate to **(-6)**, but let's keep it as it is for context]

5. **5 + 6 = 11**

So the complete text with the filled blanks is:

Adding an additive inverse is the **same operation** as subtracting.
a - **b** = a + (-b)
(-5) - 3 = (-5) + **(-3)**
**5 = 5** = 5 + (6)
**5 + 6 = 11**
