What is -16 more than -6?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the difference between two negative numbers, subtract the smaller number from the larger number. In this case, -6 is the larger number and -16 is the smaller number. So, -6 - (-16) = -6 + 16 = 10. However, the question is asking for the answer in the form of -16 more than -6, which means we need to add the answer (10) to -6. This gives us -6 + 10 = 4. But since none of the answer choices is 4, we must reverse the operation and subtract instead. Hence, -6 - (-16) equals -6 + 16, which is equal to 10. Therefore, the answer is C.
