Key Concepts

Inequalities

Inequalities are mathematical expressions that indicate the relative size or order of two values using symbols like <, ?, >, and ?. They allow us to determine which number is smaller or larger in a comparison, and understanding them is fundamental to algebra and number theory.

Ordering of Negative Numbers

Ordering negative numbers requires understanding that on the number line, numbers further to the left are considered smaller. Despite their absolute values, a more negative number (with a larger absolute value) is less than a number that is closer to zero, which is key to evaluating inequalities involving negative numbers.
