What are inequalities ?

Inequalities in mathematics is when comparing two non equal quantities.

if a is greater than b we write a>b (3>2) and -a<-b (-3<-2)

a=3 and b =2

In the given question

We have to compare and

= = -2.3

= -2.6

So, from this we can say than -2.3 is greater than -2.6

⇒ -2.3 > - 2.6
