Question. 50
(−11) + (−15) ____ 11 + 15
Answer:
(−11) + (−15) < 11 + 15
Detailed Answer with Explanation:
- 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)
- Work out the right side:
(11 + 15 = 26)
- Compare the results:
(-26) and (26)
Any negative number is less than any positive number.
Therefore, (-26 < 26)
So, ((-11) + (-15) lt 11 + 15)
