Comparing and
To evaluate the relationship between the negative integer and the expression , begin by simplifying the side containing the absolute value. The absolute value of evaluates to , since its distance from zero is . Applying the negative sign positioned outside the absolute value bars to this result gives . The comparison then simplifies to versus . Since these two integers are exactly the same (), the correct relationship is equality. Therefore, the final comparative statement is .
