(-5)+(-6)

= -5+-6

If 2 signs (+ or -) are so close together that you can put a circle around them with nothing else in the circe, the

if the signs are the same, replace them with a plus

if the signs are different, replace them with a minus.

Your question has a +- they are different so replace with a -

=-5-6

Now, start at -5 on a number line and go 6 places in a negative direction.

= -11
