Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. We are comparing two numbers: 7-7 and 66.
2. We need to determine the correct inequality sign between them: >> (greater than), << (less than), or == (equal to).

STEP 2

Understand the properties of negative and positive numbers.
1. A negative number is always less than a positive number.
2. Zero is greater than any negative number and less than any positive number.

STEP 3

Since 7-7 is a negative number and 66 is a positive number, we can apply the property that a negative number is always less than a positive number.

STEP 4

Conclude the comparison between 7-7 and 66.
7<6-7 < 6

STEP 5

Choose the correct sign for the comparison.
The correct sign to place between 7-7 and 66 is << (less than).
Submit: 7<6-7 < 6
