Question

23 – 41 + 11 ______ 23 – 41 – 11, Use the sign of >, < or = in blank space to make the statements true.

Answer 1

To use the sign <, > or = in between the expression ,first we solve the LHS and RHS then put the symbols.

$23-41+11 \\ \\ = 23+11-41 \\ \\ = 34-41 \\ \\ = -7$



$23-41-11\\ \\ = 23-52\\ \\ = -29$

Thus 23-41+11 > 23-41-11

-7 > -29

Answer 2

Answer:

The required sign of inequality is >.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given statement is

23 – 41 + 11 ______ 23 – 41 – 11

Simplify L.H.S.

$23-41+11=34-41=-7$

Simplify R.H.S

$23-41-11=23-52=-29$

$-7>-29$

The larger negative number is always smaller.

$L.H.S>R.H.S$

Therefore the required sign of inequality is >.
