To express "two thirds of a number is no more than negative ten" mathematically, you can use the variable ( x ) to represent the number. The inequality would be written as ( \frac{2}{3}x \leq -10 ). This indicates that when you take two thirds of ( x ), the result must be less than or equal to negative ten.
Negative two thirds is smaller than negative one sixth. To have more of a negative is to have less.
No. Adding two negative numbers will give a number which is more negative.
it is always negative, and of larger value ( more negative than the starting negative)
On a number line, numbers become more negative as they move leftward. For instance, -1 is less negative than -5, meaning -5 is more negative. Therefore, any number with a larger absolute value but a negative sign, such as -10 compared to -3, is more negative. In summary, the further left you go on the number line, the more negative the numbers become.
No it will not.A negative number plus a negative number will be a number further from zero - even more negative!

I'll write it as pseudocode; you can easily convert it to a flowchart. If your number is more than 0 (Your number is positive) else if your number is less than 0 (your number is negative) else (your number is equal to zero)
No. Adding two negative numbers will give a number which is more negative.
Let the number in question be x. Your statement can be written as (5/6)x + 7 > -3.
you get more negative
it is always negative, and of larger value ( more negative than the starting negative)
No. It can only become even more negative.

more!
Negative. Sorry. No you do not. Adding a negative to a negative gives you a number that is even more negative. Picture a number line. A negative number is to the left of zero, and adding a negative number moves further left. ■
Yes, a negative number minus a positive number is always negative. When you subtract a positive number from a negative number, you are moving further left on the number line, which results in a more negative value. For example, -5 - 3 equals -8, which is still negative.
