To solve the expression \( -2 - 3 - (-4) \), we follow the order of operations:
- Evaluate the expression inside the parentheses. The expression \( -(-4) \) simplifies to \( +4 \).
Now the expression becomes: \[ -2 - 3 + 4 \]
-
Now we simplify from left to right:
- First, evaluate \( -2 - 3 \): \[ -2 - 3 = -5 \]
-
Next, add \( 4 \) to the result: \[ -5 + 4 = -1 \]
Therefore, the solution to the expression \( -2 - 3 - (-4) \) is: \[ \boxed{-1} \]
