Certainly! To evaluate the expression [tex]\( m - 5 \)[/tex], we need to follow these steps:
1. Identify the value of [tex]\( m \)[/tex]:
Given that [tex]\( m = 9 \)[/tex].
2. Substitute the value of [tex]\( m \)[/tex] into the expression:
Replace [tex]\( m \)[/tex] in the expression with 9. This gives:
[tex]\[
9 - 5
\][/tex]
3. Perform the subtraction:
[tex]\[
9 - 5 = 4
\][/tex]
Therefore, when [tex]\( m = 9 \)[/tex], the value of the expression [tex]\( m - 5 \)[/tex] is [tex]\( 4 \)[/tex].
