Question

Which sign makes the statement true for (-3)+7-(-19)______ 15-8+(-19)

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

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

\begin{lgathered}( - 3) + 7 - (19) \\ \\ = - 3 - 19 + 7 \\ \\ = - 22 + 7 \\ \\ = - 15\end{lgathered}

(−3)+7−(19)

=−3−19+7

=−22+7

=−15

As we know that

(+)*(-) = -

\begin{lgathered}15 - 8 + ( - 9) \\ \\ = 15 - 8 - 9 \\ \\ = 15 - 17 \\ \\ = - 2\end{lgathered}

15−8+(−9)

=15−8−9

=15−17

=−2

Thus (– 3) + 7 – (19) < 15 – 8 + (– 9).

-15 < -2
