sometimes (i believe)
ex: oppotite of 2 is -2, it's not greater than 2
but if the original number is -2, the opposite is 2, which IS greater
so it depends

Sometimes because the answer be be a positive, and the opposite would be a negative which is less. But for a negative, it is always greater. So the answer is sometimes will be greater than the number itself.
