Let's break down the problem to determine whether the two expressions are equal.

First Expression:

$3 - (4 - 5)$

• Start with the parentheses: $4 - 5 = -1$
• Now, substitute this back into the expression: $3 - (-1) = 3 + 1 = 4$

Second Expression:

$(3 - 4) - 5$

• Start with the parentheses: $3 - 4 = -1$
• Substitute this back into the expression: $-1 - 5 = -6$

Conclusion:

• The first expression evaluates to 4, while the second expression evaluates to -6.
• Therefore, the two expressions are not equal.

The correct answer is "No."

Do you want further details or have any other questions?

Here are 5 relative questions for further practice:

1. What is the value of $5 - (2 - 3)$?
2. Does the expression $(6 - 3) - 2$ equal the value of $6 - (3 - 2)$?
3. Simplify the expression $8 - (5 - 7)$.
4. Is $2 - (4 - 1)$ equal to $(2 - 4) - 1$?
5. Can you find the value of $(9 - 5) - 7$?

Tip: Always start solving by simplifying the expression inside parentheses first!
