Respuesta :

-5, because subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive, which will bring -9 up to -5

Answer:

[tex]-5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to evaluate  -9-(-4).

This is the same as [tex]-9+4[/tex].

We can again rewrite this as [tex]4-9[/tex]

Since we are subtracting a larger number from a smaller number, the result will be negative.

Therefore our expression evaluates to [tex]-5[/tex]

The second option is correct.
