Answer 1

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

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

2. Rewrite \( -(-4) \) as \( +4 \): \[ -2 - 3 + 4 \]

3. Combine \( -2 \) and \( -3 \): \[ -5 + 4 \]

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

Thus, the solution to the expression \( -2 - 3 - (-4) \) is \(-1\).

The correct answer is: -1
