jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so is -5 to the left of 3? or is -5 to the right of 3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

left

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

numbers on the left are smaller than the ones on the right so we say -5 is less than 3 using symbols that translates to -5 < 3

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

(left number) < (right number)
