Question

Use the sign of $>,<or=$ in the box to make the statements true:

$-231+79+51[]-399+159+81$

Answer 1

Checking the Inequality

Given statement is :$-231+79+51[]-399+159+81$

Considering Left Hand Side (L.H.S) we get

$\begin{array}{rcl}& =& –231+79+51\\ & =& –231+130\\ & =& -101\end{array}$

From Right Hand Side (R.H.S)

$\begin{array}{rcl}& =& –399+159+81\\ & =& –399+240\\ & =& –159\end{array}$

On comparing L.H.S and R.H.S

$-101>-159$

Answer

$\therefore –231+79+51[>]-399+159+81$
