Is 6 − –84 positive or negative?

Answer 1

To solve the expression \(6 - (-84)\), we first need to recognize that subtracting a negative number is equivalent to adding that positive number.

So, the expression becomes:

\[ 6 + 84 \]

Now, we can add these two numbers:

\[ 6 + 84 = 90 \]

Since 90 is greater than 0, the result \(6 - (-84)\) is positive.
