Negative numbers are always less than positive ones.
Do you remember the symbol for "less than"? That's right, "<" :)
Hence,
-6<3
Because
-6 is negative (the - sign tells us that)
3 is positive

Answer:
Small gift: $2
Large gift: $7
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent cost of wrapping each small gift and y represent cost of wrapping each large gift.
We have been given that day one 41 small gifts were wrapped and 45 large were wrapped equaling $397.
We can represent this information in an equation as:
We are also told that day two 30 small gifts were wrapped and 47 large were wrapped equaling $389. We can represent this information in an equation as:
From equation (1), we will get:
Upon substituting this value in equation (2), we will get:
Therefore, cost to wrap a large gift is $7.
Upon substituting in equation
, we will get:
Therefore, cost to wrap a small gift is $2.
Solve the system using substitutions:
x has a value of 1. Use this value to find the value of y.
y has a value of 1.
x=1
y=1
