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

  1. Start with the two numbers: \(-2 + 3\) equals \(1\).

  2. Next, consider the subtraction of \(-4\): \(-(-4)\) is the same as adding \(4\), so you will add \(4\) to \(1\).

Now combine them: \[ 1 + 4 = 5 \]

Thus, the solution to the expression \(-2 + 3 - (-4)\) is \(5\).

The correct response is: 5
