Best Answer

Yes.

  • Any value greater than 2 added to both 0 and -2 will create a greater value for the zero+ sum.
  • You have to add 2 to -2 to equal 0
  • 0 is to the right of -2 and the other negative numbers on a number line, so it is a higher value.

Is positive 10 greater than negative 2?

Positive 10 is greater than negative 2. A good way to help visualise is to imagine a number line with 0 in the middle. 1,2,3,4 head off to the right, and -1, -2, -3, -4 head off to the left. The further the right a number is, the greater it is. So 6 is greater than 2. 8 is greater than 0, and 10 is greater than negative 2.

If 2 is less than 3 then -2 is greater than -3 Why?

The number line is drawn so that the positive numbers are to your right and negative numbers to your left. As the numbers move from right to left they become smaller. As the question states, 2 is less than 3 (or 3 is greater than 2). 2 is greater than 1 1 is greater than 0.....at this stage the numbers change from positive to negative 0 is greater than -1 -1 is greater than -2 -2 is greater than -3.......and so on. If this 'direction' rule was not applied then a situation could occur where 2 was greater than -2 (which is the normal rule) and also -2 is greater than 2 which would create absolute confusion.

Does a negative number plus a positive number equal a positive?

Not if the negative number is greater than the positive. If the positive number is greater than the negative, it logically follows that the resulting number would be positive. Example: -2 + 1 = -1 -2 + 2 = 0 -2 + 3 = 1
