Answer:
[tex] \boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{ - 4x + 5}}}}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex] \sf{x - 4 - (5x - 9)}[/tex]
While subtracting, sign of each term of second expression changes
[tex] \longrightarrow{ \sf{x - 4 - 5x + 9}}[/tex]
Collect like terms
[tex] \longrightarrow{ \sf{x - 5x - 4 + 9}}[/tex]
[tex] \longrightarrow{ \sf{ - 4x - 4 + 9}}[/tex]
The negative and positive integer are always subtracted but posses the sign of the bigger integer
[tex] \longrightarrow{ \sf{ - 4x + 5}}[/tex]
Hope I helped!
