The difference between 9 and -2 is [9-(-2)]. 19 less than that would be [9-(-2)]-19.
You can also just write it as -8.

19 - (9+2) = 19 - 11 = 8

well the difference between 9 and -2 is:
9- (-2)=11
so 19 less than that is:
11-19

Hmm... there's a specific meaning to 'the difference between' but I don't think that's what they mean.
probably they want: (9-(-2))-19
If they really want "the difference between" then it's
(9~(-2))-19
with a curvy minus sign, which means that they don't care if you take 9 - (-2) or (-2)-9. Normally you only see this, however, within absolute value or square roots.
