The solution of the expression is -1 ⇒ 3rd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise some important rules on the number line

  • If we add number to another number we move to right
  • If we subtract a number from another number we move to left

∵ The expression is negative 2 minus 3 minus (negative 4)

∵ negative 2 = (-2)

∵ minus means (-)

(-2) minus 3 means move 3 units from (-2) to left, so you will pass -3, -4, and stop at -5

∴ (-2) - 3 = -5

∵ minus (negative 4) = - (-4)

- Remember (-)(-) = (+)

∴ minus (negative 4) = + 4

That means move 4 units to the right from -5, then you will pass -4, -3, -2, and stop at -1

∴ -5 + 4 = -1

∴ The expression (-2) - 3 - (-4) = -1

The solution of the expression is -1
