Positive numbers are always greater than -15. Therefore, it's a greater than.

-2x = - 15

Dividing both sides by -2, we get

x = 7.5

Negative cancels on both sides, so we get a positive equation.

Positive numbers are always greater than -15. Therefore, it's a greater than.

What is greater than or less than?

Greater than and less than are the comparison symbols.
When the number is bigger or smaller than the other, then greater than and less than symbols are used.
If the number is greater than the other, the greater than (>) symbol is used.
If the number is lesser than the other, the less than the (<) symbol is used.

Adding and subtracting mixed numbers with unlike denominators

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: You need to find a the lowest number that the denominators can be timed by. In you're case. You can just times 5 by 2 = 10

So that both the denominators are 10. And the denominator that was once 5. The numerator of that fraction also needs to be timed by 2.

So then you have 7 18/10 - 6 15/10

Then you can convert them to to proper fractions 8 8/10 - 7 5/10

Then you can take away the fractions so it's

8 8/10 - 7 5/10 = 1 3/10
