To subtract the expressions \((9d + 5)\) and \((2d + 1)\), you can distribute the negative sign and then combine like terms:

\[ (9d + 5) - (2d + 1) = 9d + 5 - 2d - 1 \]

Now, combine the like terms:

  • For the \(d\) terms: \(9d - 2d = 7d\)
  • For the constant terms: \(5 - 1 = 4\)

Putting it all together, you get:

\[ 7d + 4 \]

So, \((9d + 5) - (2d + 1) = 7d + 4\).
