Answer 1

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

1. Evaluate the expression inside the parentheses:

   • The negation of -4 is +4. So, \( -(-4) = 4 \).

2. Rewrite the expression:

   • The expression now reads \( -2 + 3 + 4 \).

3. Perform the addition from left to right:

   • First, calculate \( -2 + 3 = 1 \).
   • Then add 4: \( 1 + 4 = 5 \).

So, the final result of the expression \( -2 + 3 - (-4) \) is 5.

The correct response is:

• 5
