You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(5 + 6 - \frac{-6}{2}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 5 + 6 - \frac{-6}{2} = 14 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{5}{1}\), \(\frac{6}{1}\), and \(\frac{6}{2}\) is \(2\). \[ \begin{aligned} 5 + 6 - \frac{-6}{2} &= \frac{5 \cdot 2}{1 \cdot 2} + \frac{6 \cdot 2}{1 \cdot 2} + \frac{6 \cdot 1}{2 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{10 + 12 + 6}{2} \\ &= \frac{28}{2} \\&= 14 \end{aligned} \]
