The absolute value (magnitude) of -17 is greater than the absolute value (magnitude) of -5. -5 is considered to be greater (more positive) than -17.
Yes, -16 > -17 -16 is to the right of -17 on a number line. Note: -17 has a greater magnitude than -16, though.
-6 is greater than -17. Consider temperatures: a temperature of 6°C is warmer than 3°C and would be considered greater (6 > 3); a temperature of -6°C is warmer than -17°C, and so -6 > -17.
-20
Yes. (If you subtract -17 minus -18 on a calculator, you get a positive number.)
It depends. If the negative number is larger than the positive number, then it will be a negative. If the positive number is larger than the negative number, then it will be a positive. Example 1: -9 + 6 = -3 Example 2: 17 + (-13) = 6
is -17 greater than 17
-20, -19, -18, -17, -16
A negative and a positive number will multiply to a negative number. Other than that, -9 and -8 will satisfy your conditions.
A minus negative acts like a plus. -25-(-42)= -25+42 Different signs means find the difference of 17 and put the sign of the greater absolute value. So positive 17 is your answer.
negative 20
It is greater than 1. 17/17 = 1. If you divide a number greater than 17 by 17 then the result must be greater than 1.
