-6 + abs(-11) = -6 + 11 = 5
The absolute value of - 4 5/6 is 4 5/6.
So the absolute value of a number is simply the positive value of a given number. (In our basic number system each number has both a positive and negative value such as -6 and 6). If you are dealing with basic numbers, simply drop the negative sign if there is one, or leave the number as is if there isn't, and you have the absolute value. |x| means the absolute value So |-6| = 6 and |5| = 5 So while -6 is less than 5, |6| (absolute value of -6) is larger than 5 :)
5. The absolute number of anything, negative or positive is that number. Like the absolute value of 6 or abs(6) is 6 and the abs(-6) is 6.
The sign of the answer will be the sign of the number which has the largest absolute value. Examples:8 + (-5) ... positive, 8 has the larger absolute value (8 is more than 5), and it is positive.-3 + 2 ... negative, -3 has the larger absolute value, and it is negative.4 + (-4) ... the answer is zero in this case.

-5 - 6 = -11
-5/6 × -6 = (-5)/6 × (-6)/1 = (-5×-6)/(6×1) = 30/6 = 5
