Comparing and
To determine the relationship between and , evaluate each expression separately. On the left side, the absolute value of is , because its distance from zero is . On the right side, evaluate the absolute value first to get , and then apply the external negative sign, resulting in . Comparing these two integers, the positive value is strictly greater than the negative value (). By substituting the simplified integers with the original expressions, the final relationship is .
