    increase of 3

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The problem can be modeled by the equation:

    -6 + 9

    The - 6 represents the decrease of 6 on Monday, and the + 9 represents the increase of 9 on Tuesday. The six negatives cancel out six of the positives leaving us with three positives (+3) which means the price of gas increased by 3 by the end of the day on Tuesday.
