-6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1. They are all on the right of -7 on the number line so they are greater than -7.
yes
-2 is greater than -7 because it is the closest to zero and -7 is colder than -2
Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number. Also, adding a negative number is the same as subtracting a positive number. -7 + (-5) = -7 - 5 = -12 -7 - (-5) = -7 + 5 = -2
7 less than -5 is -2
Yes, negative 7 (-7) is less than negative 5 (-5). Negative 5 is closer to zero, which makes it a larger number. ________________________________________________________________ Yes it is, and I am going to explain why it is by using sweets: Let's say you have 7 bags of sweets, If I came and took 7 off you, and then took another 5 of you that would be -5, if I took another 2 off you, then it would be -7, meaning that -7 is greater than -5.

Well, isn't that just a happy little math problem? If we take 7 away from 2, we end up with -5. It's okay to make mistakes in math, just like it's okay to make "happy accidents" in painting. Keep practicing and you'll get the hang of it!
no.. -7<-1 i.e "negative 7 is less than negative 1" ------------- negative numbers like -1 are less than 0, making any number after -1 even lower than 0 making the lower up negatives like -1 greater than higher number negatives like -7
The answer will take on the sign of whichever numeral is greater, regardless of sign. 5 + -3 = 2 5 is greater than 3, the answer is positive. 5 + -7 = -2 7 is greater than 5, the answer is negative.
No negative 5 is greater than negative 7. Remember, when you go right on a number line the amount of what you have gets bigger. If you go left on the number line the amount you have gets smaller. In terms, think of this. If you were sitting at $-5, how would you get to negative $-7? You'd go left(spend)? So this means that the amount is getting smaller.
A negative... as in (-5) + (-7) = (-12). A negative timesa negative is a positive... as in (-5) X (-7) = (+35)
yes it is because 7 is a higher number
12
