Question

3+(3)+(3)?3+3+3 -3+(-3)+(-3)?3+3+3

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's remember the laws:

(x)=+x -(-x)=+x

+(x)=x +(-x)=-x

We'll solve the left side first.

Let's write the exercise in the appropriate form:

333= -3-3-3=

We'll solve the exercise from left to right:

33=6 -3-3=-6

63=9 -6-3=-9

Now let's solve the right side:

3+3+3= 3+3+3=

3+3=6 3+3=6

6+3=9 6+3=9

Since the right side is larger, the appropriate sign will be:

-9 < 9
