Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. We are comparing two numbers in each case. . The shaded area should be filled with either (less than) or (greater than) to make a true statement.
STEP 2
First, we compare the numbers in the first case,6 and15. We need to determine whether6 is less than or greater than15.
STEP 3
Since6 is less than15, we fill in the shaded area with .
STEP 4
Next, we compare the numbers in the second case, -6 and -15. We need to determine whether -6 is less than or greater than -15.
STEP 5
Since - is greater than -15 (as - is closer to zero on the number line), we fill in the shaded area with .
So, the true statements area)
b)
