\(1-2+3-4+5-6+7-8+9\)
\(=\left(1+3+5+7+9\right)-2-4-6-8\)
\(=25-\left(2+4+6+8\right)\)
\(=25-20\)
\(=5\)
1 - 2 + 3 - 4 + 5 - 6 + 7 - 8 + 9
= ( 1 - 2 ) + ( 3 - 4 )+ ( 5 - 6 ) + ( 7 - 8 ) + 9
= -1 + -1 + -1 + -1 + 9
= -4 + 9
= 5
\(1-2+3-4+5-6+7-8+9\)
\(=\left(1-2\right)+\left(3-4\right)+\left(5-6\right)+\left(7-8\right)+9\)
\(=\left(-1\right)+\left(-1\right)+\left(-1\right)+\left(-1\right)+9\)
\(=-4+9\)
\(=5\)
