Answer 1

To solve the expression \(-2 - 3 - (-4)\), follow these steps:

1. Start with the original expression:
\[
-2 - 3 - (-4)
\]

2. Rewrite the double negative:
\[
-2 - 3 + 4
\]

3. Now, perform the addition/subtraction from left to right:
- First, calculate \(-2 - 3\):
\[
-2 - 3 = -5
\]

- Now, add \(4\) to \(-5\):
\[
-5 + 4 = -1
\]

Therefore, the result of the expression is \(-1\).

The correct answer is:
-1
