To compare the expressions [tex]\(5 + (-4)\)[/tex] and [tex]\(14 + (-13)\)[/tex] using an inequality symbol, let's evaluate each side step-by-step.

First, we calculate the left expression:
[tex]\[ 5 + (-4) \][/tex]
[tex]\[ = 1 \][/tex]

Next, we calculate the right expression:
[tex]\[ 14 + (-13) \][/tex]
[tex]\[ = 1 \][/tex]

Now, we compare the results of the two expressions:
[tex]\[ 1 \quad \text{and} \quad 1 \][/tex]

Since both expressions evaluate to the same number, we have:
[tex]\[ 1 = 1 \][/tex]

Therefore, the correct inequality symbol to use for comparing [tex]\(5 + (-4)\)[/tex] and [tex]\(14 + (-13)\)[/tex] is [tex]\(=\)[/tex]. This corresponds to option C in the provided choices.

So, the answer is:
C) [tex]\(=\)[/tex]
