The solution of the expression is -1 ⇒ 3rd answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us revise some important rules on the number line
- If we add number to another number we move to right
- If we subtract a number from another number we move to left
∵ The expression is negative 2 minus 3 minus (negative 4)
∵ negative 2 = (-2)
∵ minus means (-)
(-2) minus 3 means move 3 units from (-2) to left, so you will pass -3, -4, and stop at -5
∴ (-2) - 3 = -5
∵ minus (negative 4) = - (-4)
- Remember (-)(-) = (+)
∴ minus (negative 4) = + 4
That means move 4 units to the right from -5, then you will pass -4, -3, -2, and stop at -1
∴ -5 + 4 = -1
∴ The expression (-2) - 3 - (-4) = -1
The solution of the expression is -1
