Answer: The correct option is (C). =.
Step-by-step explanation: We are to choose a symbol from the set of symbols (<, >, =, ≠) to compare the following mathematical statement:
[tex]5+(-4)~~~~~?~~~~~14+(-13).[/tex]
We have
[tex]5+(-4)=5-4=1,[/tex]
and
[tex]14+(-13)=14-13=1.[/tex]
Therefore, we have
[tex]1=1\\\\\Rightarrow 5+(-4)=14+(-13).[/tex]
Thus, the complete statement is
[tex]5+(-4)=14+(-13).[/tex]
Option (B) is CORRECT.
