5 superscript 4 baseline
5−4
5 superscript negative 4 baseline
5−203

Answer 1

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

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

2. Then, subtract \(23\) from \(-1\): \[ -1 - 23 = -24 \]

So, the expression simplifies to \(-24\).

Now let's look at the responses provided to find an equivalent expression:

1. \(154\)
2. \( \frac{1}{5^4} \)
3. \(5^4\)
4. \(5^{-4}\)
5. \(5^{-203}\)

None of these responses equate to \(-24\). Therefore, there’s no equivalent expression among the choices provided. Please double-check the multiple choice options or re-evaluate for more context, as none of these match \(-24\).
