Answer 1

To solve the expression \(-2 + 3 - (-4)\), we can follow these steps:

1. Start with the expression: \[ -2 + 3 - (-4) \]

2. Notice that subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number: \[ -2 + 3 + 4 \]

3. Now calculate it step by step:

   • First, calculate \(-2 + 3\): \[ -2 + 3 = 1 \]

   • Then add \(4\) to that result: \[ 1 + 4 = 5 \]

Therefore, the solution to the expression is \(5\).
