$\frac{10}{- 1} + - 6$

Step 1

Replace all occurrences of $+$ $-$ with a single $-$ . A plus sign followed by a minus sign has the same mathematical meaning as a single minus sign because $1 \cdot - 1 = - 1$

$\frac{10}{- 1} - 6$

Step 2

Divide $10$ by $- 1$ .

$- 10 - 6$

Step 3

Subtract $6$ from $- 10$ .

$- 16$
