#7#

Explanation:

Count the number of terms first.
There must be an answer for each term before we can add or subtract them, which happens at the LAST step. In this case there are 3 terms:
#color(red)(6) - color(blue)(1xx0) + color(orange)(2/2)" "# Simplify in each term.

=# color(red)6 - color(blue)0 + color(orange)1#

Now work from left to right.

=#7#
