Answer:
8×(−2)−(−4)^2 < 36÷9+2×5
Step-by-step explanation:
The left side expression evaluates as ...
8×(−2)−(−4)^2
= 8×(−2) − 16
= -16 -16
= -32
__
The right side expression evaluates as ...
36÷9+2×5
= 4 + 10
= 14
__
It should be no mystery that any negative number is less than any positive number:
-32 < 14
8×(−2)−(−4)^2 < 36÷9+2×5 . . . . . . . . "less than" symbol is required
