6. 10 - 5 = ? Answer: 5 Solution: We start with the problem: 10 - 5 = ? The minus sign means we are subtracting 5 from 10. Subtraction means taking away a certain number from another number.
   Full step-by-step solution

   We start with the problem: 10 - 5 = ? Step 1: Understand the operation. The minus sign means we are subtracting 5 from 10. Subtraction means taking away a certain number from another number. Step 2: Count back method. We begin at 10 and count backwards 5 steps: 10 → 9 (1 step back) 9 → 8 (2 steps back) 8 → 7 (3 steps back) 7 → 6 (4 steps back) 6 → 5 (5 steps back) We end at 5. Step 3: Verify using addition. Subtraction is the inverse of addition. If 10 - 5 = ?, then ? + 5 should equal 10. We know 5 + 5 = 10, so ? must be 5. Step 4: Conclusion. 10 - 5 = 5 Final answer: 5
