Default i need the cells to read 9-1 and it won't work

I am trying to put numbers in the cells that have a dash in them. For
example 9-1, or 4-6. Everytime I do it it changes to a date or some other
random number. I tried every format and can't figure it out. HELP??
PLEASE??

Also how do I make a cell format to put in the total value of a simple math
problem. For instance, i put in the cell 5+7-6+3 but it reads the answer
