Solve: (-4)+2+(-3)□5 - Finding the Missing Operator

Fill in the missing sign (?):

$(-4)+2+(-3)\text{?}5$

First let's solve the equation:

$(-4)+2+(-3)=$

We'll locate -4 on the number line and move two steps to the right (since 2 is greater than zero):

This takes us to the number -2.

Now let's move three steps to the left (since minus 3 is less than zero):

This takes us to -5.

The solution to the equation is:

$(-4)+2+(-3)=-5$

Therefore, since $5$ is greater than $-5$, the missing sign must be: $<$.
