Question

se an inequality symbol (<, >, =, ≠) to compare 5 + (−4) _____ 14 + (−13) A. > B. = C. ≠ D.

Answer 1

Answer:  The correct option is (C). =.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are to choose a symbol from the set of symbols (<, >, =, ≠) to compare the following mathematical statement:

$5+(-4)~~~~~?~~~~~14+(-13).$

We have

$5+(-4)=5-4=1,$

and

$14+(-13)=14-13=1.$

Therefore, we have

$1=1\\\\\Rightarrow 5+(-4)=14+(-13).$

Thus, the complete statement is

$5+(-4)=14+(-13).$

Option (B) is CORRECT.

Answer 2

5+(-4)= 1 
14+(-13)= 1
 So the answer is B. =
