Explanation:

Given: #6+6-(-1)#.

In mathematics, double negative gives out a positive, so we have here:

#=6+6+1#

Distribute in any way you like, from left to right or from right to left.

From left to right:

#=12+1#

#=13#

From right to left:

#=6+7#

#=13#

As you can see here from both ways, there can only be one correct answer, which is #13#.
