To subtract –915 and 469, you can think of it as adding a negative number:
\(-915 - 469\) can be computed as:
\(-915 + (-469)\).
Now, you can add the absolute values:
\(|915| + |469| = 915 + 469 = 1384\).
Since both numbers are negative, the result will also be negative:
\(-1384\).
Therefore,
\(-915 - 469 = -1384\).
