If you add a negative and a positive the answer (pos or neg) is that of the highest number. For example -13+ 3= -10 and -3 + 13 = 10. In this situation a negative (-) plus a positive (+) can be either negative or positive depending on which number is greater. Example: -10 + 5 = -5 because -10 is larger than 5 (even though that seems contradictory) Example: -5 + 10 = 5 because 10 is larger than -5.
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.
-5 is greater.
If the positive number is greater than the negative, it's a positive. Ex: 8 + (-3) = 5 If the negative is greater though, then the answer is a negative. Ex: 3 + (-5) = -2
-5. You're better off being £5 in debt than £6.
-11
Negative 5 is three units greater than negative 8.
Negative 3 is greater than negative 5
No because -5 is greater than -6
There are no negative integers greater than five.
The greater than symbol is > Example: -5 negative is greater than -10 negative -5 > -10
no, as -8 is a negative meaning its below 0
Negative 5 is less than negative 4.
Is negative 1.16 greater than positive 1?
No. It is 5 times smaller.
No, as that 3 is positive, and negative 5 is not.
-5 is less than 13. Thank you
