Question 50

Question. 50

(−11) + (−15) ____ 11 + 15

Answer:

(−11) + (−15) < 11 + 15

Detailed Answer with Explanation:

  1. Work out the left side:

    ((-11) + (-15))

    Add two negative numbers: keep the minus sign and add their sizes.

    (|-11| = 11,quad |-15| = 15)

    (11 + 15 = 26)

    So, ((-11) + (-15) = -26)

  2. Work out the right side:

    (11 + 15 = 26)

  3. Compare the results:

    (-26) and (26)

    Any negative number is less than any positive number.

    Therefore, (-26 < 26)

    So, ((-11) + (-15) lt 11 + 15)
