Answer:
5 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
so since nine is the whole number part of "9 1/2" you can easily subtract 4 from if (bc it's another whole number) but the confusing part of this problem is the "+(-4)" the parentheses are just so you don't mix up the + and -, but regardless, when you add a negative number it's the same as subtracting.
9 1/2
-4
-----------
-5 1/2
* bring down the 1/2 :)
