Use a calculator to find that 7 2.65.
– is between –1 and 0.34
Compare –9 and – 9. Use the symbols < and >.

Since –9 < –3, it follows that
9 = 3, so – 9 = –3.
–9 < – 9.

Properties of Real NumbersProperties of Real Numbers
a. (–7)(2 • 5) = (–7)(5 • 2) b. 3 • (8 + 0) = 3 • 8
The given equation is true because 2 • 5 = 5 • 2.
So, the equation uses the Commutative Propertyof Multiplication.
The given equation is true because 8 + 0 = 8.
This is an instance of the Identity Property of Addition.

–9.2 is 9.2 units from 0, so |–9.2| = 9.2.
|3 – 8| = |–5| and –5 is 5 units from 0. So, |–5| = 5, and hence |3 – 8| = 5.

4 is 4 units from 0, so | 4 | = 4 .13
