Will positive numbers alway have a higher absolute value than the negative numbers?

No, positive numbers do not always have a higher absolute value than negative numbers. The absolute value of a negative number is equal to its positive equivalent. For example, the absolute value of -3 and 3 is both 3.


How can you decide if the sum of two numbers is positive negative or zero without actually calculating the sum?

The sum of two positive numbers is always positive, and the sum of two negatives is always negative. If you have a positive and a negative number, there sum can be either, so look at the absolute values to decide. For example -3+2=-1. Since all you care about is the sign, look at the absolute value. If the negative number has a greater absolute value, the sum is negative and if the positive number's absolute value, which is the number itself, is bigger, the sum is positive. If the absolute values are equal, the sum is 0.


To multiply a negative number and a negative number you should multiply their absolute values and make the product negative true or false?
