Question

Subtract the following.

$8$ from $6$

Answer 1

We have, $\left(6\right)-\left(8\right)$

Now, the additive inverse of $8$ is $-8$.

Add the additive inverse to $6$.

We get,

$$\begin{gathered} \left(6\right)-\left(8\right)=6-8 \\ =-2 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, $\left(6\right)-\left(8\right)=-2$
