To solve the expression \(-1.6 - (-0.56)\), you can follow these steps:
Remove the parentheses: The expression can be rewritten as: \[-1.6 + 0.56\]
Perform the addition: Now, you can add the two numbers: \[-1.6 + 0.56 = -1.6 + 0.56\]
To do this, it's helpful to convert the numbers to a common decimal system: \[-1.6 = -1.60\]
Now sum the two: \[-1.60 + 0.56 = -1.04\]
Thus, \(-1.6 - (-0.56) = -1.04\).
