Do the operations inside the absolute values and then convert the answer to a positive value. After doing the absolute value follow the order of operations to find the answer -6

Explanation:

# -6 + 1 = -5 #

The absolute value of -5 = + 5

# + 5 -6 = -1#

The absolute value of -1 = +1

Using the order of operation gives

# - ( + 5) - ( +1) # This gives

-5 - 1 = -6
