Negative 9 minus 5 can be solved by first recognizing that subtracting a positive number is equivalent to adding its negative. Therefore, negative 9 minus 5 is the same as negative 9 plus negative 5. When adding two negative numbers, you add their absolute values and keep the negative sign. Thus, negative 9 plus negative 5 equals negative 14.
