Answer 1

To solve the expression −2 + 3 − (−4), we follow the order of operations:

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

2. Simplify the expression by addressing the double negative:
   \(-2 + 3 + 4\)

3. Now, perform the addition and subtraction from left to right:
   \(-2 + 3 = 1\)
   Then, add \(4\):
   \(1 + 4 = 5\)

So, the solution to the expression is \(5\).
