Key Concepts

Comparison of Negative Numbers

When comparing negative numbers, the number with the higher (less negative) value is considered greater. This is because negative numbers are situated on the left side of zero on the number line, so a number closer to zero is greater than one further away.

Inequalities

Inequalities are mathematical statements that compare two values, indicating if one is greater or less than the other using symbols such as > or <. This concept is fundamental in understanding relationships between numbers in algebra and beyond.
