The use of parentheses would give an answer of 9.

it's -9. 3-(-6) 3+6 9 and then keep the sign of the higher number -9

3 - (-6) = 9 In all mathematics when you subtract you change the sign of the subtracted number and add. In this case -6 becomes +6.

3 - (-6) = 3 + 6 = 9

Think of it this way. You have 3 cents. Someone takes a debt of 6 cents (mean they give you 6 cents) You would not then have a minus 6 cents You would have 9 cents. 3 - (-6) = 9

3 minus -6 = 3 - (-6) = 3 + 6 = 9. Remember that a doubled negative creates a positive.
