Answer 1

To simplify the expression \((5 - 6) - 23\):

1. Calculate \(5 - 6\):
\[
5 - 6 = -1
\]

2. Now substitute \(-1\) into the expression:
\[
-1 - 23
\]

3. Calculate \(-1 - 23\):
\[
-1 - 23 = -24
\]

Now, we are looking for an equivalent expression to \(-24\). Since none of the options seem to directly correspond to \(-24\), let's check each response:

1. \(5 - 4 = 1\)
2. \(5^{-4} = \frac{1}{5^4} = \frac{1}{625}\)
3. \(\frac{1}{5^{-4}} = 5^4 = 625\)
4. \(5^4 = 625\)

None of the options provided seem to represent \(-24\).

If you meant to find the equivalent numerical expression to \(-24\), it isn't represented in the provided options. Please check if there are any adjustments or corrections to the question or options.
