Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

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

(-12) < (-4)

because in case of negative integers (-4) is more than (-12)

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)
