Question

Evaluate −9 − (−4). 5 −5 13 −13

Answer 1

Answer:

$-5$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to evaluate  -9-(-4).

This is the same as $-9+4$.

We can again rewrite this as $4-9$

Since we are subtracting a larger number from a smaller number, the result will be negative.

Therefore our expression evaluates to $-5$

The second option is correct.

Answer 2

-5, because subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive, which will bring -9 up to -5
