Answer 2

Answer:

4-Because -3+6 is an equivalent expression, the answer is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is -3-(-6)

This can be represented as a binary operation between 2 negative integers a and b where a corresponds to -3 and b corresponds to -6. The binary operation involved is that of subtraction.

This can equivalently be expressed as follows:

$\[a-b\]$

=$\[a+(-b)\]$

Substituting the values of a and b,

=$\[-3+(-(-6))\]$

=$\[-3+6\]$

=$\[3\]$

Among the given options, option 4 is correct.
