When subtracting a negative number, it is the same as adding its positive counterpart. Therefore, 5 minus negative 1 is equivalent to 5 + 1, which equals 6. The double negative cancels out, resulting in a positive number.

Oh, dude, okay, so when you subtract a negative number, it's like you're adding its positive counterpart. So, 5 minus negative 1 is the same as 5 plus 1, which equals 6. It's like math's way of playing mind games with us, man.

5 -(-1) is the same as adding 1. The two nagatives cancel each other out so 6

if you are subtracting a negative it is really adding a positive so the answer would be 6
