Question

The sum of 6c- 5c and the opposite of 6c

Answer 1

Answer:

$-5c$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find: The sum of $6c-5c$ and opposite of $6c$

Opposite of $6c$ means taking the opposite sign.

$6c$ is positive. So, opposite sign is $-6c$.

Therefore, the addition is given as:

$=6c-5c+(-6c)$

Opening the parenthesis, we get:

$6c-5c-6c$

Now, as per PEDMAS rule, we subtract $6c\ and\ 5c$, we get

$6c-5c=(6-5)c=1c$

Now, we are left with $1c-6c$

Subtracting a bigger number from a smaller number will give a negative answer.

So, $1c-6c=(1-6)c=-5c$

Therefore, the final answer is $-5c$
