Question

Which expression has the greater value justify your answer

A. -8+4
B. -8×3

Answer 1

Answer:
A has the greater value

Step-by-step explanation:
-8 is a negative number, so if you multiply it by any positive number greater than 1 it will only go further left on the number line (become “more” negative). However, if you add a positive number to a negative number, it will go further right on the number line.

Proof:
B: -8*3=-24
A:-8+4=-4

-4>-24
