b) |-12| < |15| <em>(the absolute value of -12 is 12 so that's comparing 12 to 15)</em>
c) 3 > -4
d) |15| > |-12|
e) 7 > -11
7+7+7+7+7+7+7+7+7=63 9+9+9+9+9+9+9=63 9×6=54 54+9=63
What are factors of -40?
(-20)(2)
(-10)(4) (sum of these factors is 6, which is not what we wanted)
(-5)(8) = -40 and the sum of the factors (-5) and (8) is 3.
{-5, 8} is the list of factors of -40 that add up to 3.
