Fill in the blank with $>, <$ or $=$ sign
$(- 21) - (- 10)$ ________ $(- 31) + (- 11)$

Open in App

Solution

According to question,

L.H.S= $- 21 + 10$ ----------(multiplication of signs " $- \times - = +$ ")
= $- 11$

R.H.S= $- 31 - 11$ ----------(multiplication of signs " $+ \times - = -$ ")
= $- 42$

L.H.S is greater than R.H.S

So, sign $>$ is used to fill the blank
