The way to do this mathematically is by incorporating the Order of Operations.(Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally) This stands for (do first:) Parenthesis, then exponents, after that multiplication, now division, then addition, and finally subtraction. The side on the right then equals -5 while the side on the right equals -6. The greater value is the left side. If you have any other questions, just ask me!
