-3, -9--6 turns into -9+6, after that you can also switch it to 6-9. But if the original problem is 5-11, be careful not to make it 11-5 if you decide to switch it. One of the addition properties is that you can add in any order, you can not do the same with subtraction. There for you have to switch it to 5+(-11) so it is addition, then switch it to -11+5. Think of it this way, an addition sign is made up of 2 lines, a negative/ subtraction sign is made up of 1 line, so 1 neagative sign and 1 subtraction sign equals 2 lines or an addtion sign.
