To simplify the expression \(-4 + (-1) - (-3)\), we can follow these steps:
1. Rewrite the expression clearly:
\[
-4 + (-1) + 3
\]
(since subtracting a negative is the same as adding the positive).
2. Now we can combine the numbers:
\[
-4 - 1 + 3
\]
3. First, combine \(-4\) and \(-1\):
\[
-4 - 1 = -5
\]
4. Now add \(3\) to \(-5\):
\[
-5 + 3 = -2
\]
So, the simplified expression is:
\[
\boxed{-2}
\]
