To solve the expression \(-9 + 4 + (-14) + 9\), we can simplify it step by step:
-
Start with the initial expression: \[ -9 + 4 + (-14) + 9 \]
-
Combine \(-9\) and \(4\): \[ -9 + 4 = -5 \]
-
Now add \(-14\): \[ -5 + (-14) = -5 - 14 = -19 \]
-
Finally, add \(9\): \[ -19 + 9 = -10 \]
So, the final result is: \[ \boxed{-10} \]
