Ask yourself "What number must I add to 6 to get 15?". If you add 10 you would get 16. Too much by 1 . So you must haad just 9. So 6+9 = 15 means 15-6 =9.

You really only have 8 fingers and two opposing thumbs.

If the common desires to be 80, then... 80 X 4 = 360 for this reason, the entire of the 4 rounds all jointly desires to be 360. which you may discern what desires to be met interior the final around... 360 - seventy six - 80 two - seventy 9 = 123 to learn your paintings, do the subject in opposite. seventy six + 80 two + seventy 9 + 123 = 360 divide via 4 to get the common = 80

6-15= -11
just imagine u r subtracting 15-6=11 but instead u flipped the equation the other way so the answer will be negative which is the opposite of positive.
so the final answer is -11

well the answer is 9..try this:
start with 6..then count up to 15..and put one finger up for each number you say, not counting 6.
so it would be like this:
7..
8..
9..
10..
11..
12..
13..
14..
15..
just say the numbers out loud till you say 15, then count how many fingers you have up. hope this helps =]
