Question

aramesh thinks of an integer. He subtracts 12 from it and gets the result as – 6. What was the integer he thought of?

Answer 1

-6+12=6

-6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6

you are adding up 12 from -6 also 0 is not a number you count so you can ignore it and your answer becomes 6 using a number line to count from - and + numbers really helps. adding up to - equals a +, adding a + with a - equals a - and adding a - with a + is a +
