When you rewrite subtraction using the additive inverse, you add the opposite. That is, -5 becomes +(-5).

The appropriate choice is ...

... 4 + (−5) A horizontal number line is shown with labels from negative 8 to positive 8. A blue arrow begins at 0 and goes to 4. A red arrow begins at 4 and goes to negative 1.
