Let's solve the expression and compare it with each of the given options step by step:
1. First, calculate the result of the given expression:
[tex]\[
5 + 4 = 9
\][/tex]
2. Now, let's compare this result with each option:
- Option A:
[tex]\[
5 - 4 = 1
\][/tex]
This is not equal to 9.
- Option B:
[tex]\[
9 + 1 = 10
\][/tex]
This is not equal to 9.
- Option C:
[tex]\[
14 - 5 = 9
\][/tex]
This is equal to 9.
- Option D:
[tex]\[
10 + 0 = 10
\][/tex]
This is not equal to 9.
So, the correct comparison satisfying the given equation is:
[tex]\[
5 + 4 = 9 = 14 - 5
\][/tex]
Therefore, the best answer is:
C. [tex]$14 - 5$[/tex]
