50 - (- 65) is greater than ( - 42) + 55

Solution:

Given that,

Compare 50 - (- 65) and ( - 42) + 55

Let us first solve them and compare

50 - (- 65)

When a negative sign number is multiplied with another negative sign number, then the result is positive

Therefore,

50 - ( - 65) = 50 + 65

50 - ( - 65) = 115

( - 42) + 55

Remove the parenthesis

-42 + 55 = 13

Compare:

115 and 13

We know that,

115 > 13

Thus, 50 - (- 65) is greater than ( - 42) + 55
