To find the number that should be added to -6 to make the sum 0, you need to find the opposite of -6. The opposite of a number is the number that, when added to the original number, gives a sum of 0.
Since -6 is negative, its opposite will be positive. So, to find the opposite of -6, simply change the sign to positive. Therefore, the opposite of -6 is 6.
Adding 6 to -6 will give you 0.
So, the answer is 6.
