Question

Find the value of $\left(-6\right)-8-(-15)$

Answer 1

Let's find the value of $\left(-6\right)-8-(-15)$

Let's take the additive inverse of $8=(-8)$ and also take the additive inverse of $\left(-15\right)=15$ add these values to $-6$

If the given numbers are of like signs, let's add the absolute values directly and give the common sign for the result.

If the given numbers are of unlike signs, let's subtract the absolute values directly and give the sign of the largest absolute valued integer to the result.

So,$\left(-6\right)-8-(-15)$

$$\begin{gathered} =\left(-6\right)+(-8)+15 \\ =-14+15 \\ =1 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the answer is $1$
