Question

9. Use the sign of >,< or= in the box to make the statements true.
(a) (-8) + (-4)
(-8)-(-4).

​

Answer 1

Answer:

-8 - 4 = -12

-8 +4 = -4

(-8)+(-4) < (-8)-(-4)

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us take Left Hand Side (LHS) = (-8) + (-4)

= -8 – 4

= -12

Now, Right Hand Side (RHS) = (-8) – (-4)

= -8 + 4

= -4

By comparing LHS and RHS

LHS < RHS

-12 < -4

∴ (-8) + (-4) [<] (-8) – (-4)
