Answer:

See explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality expressions

-5 < 3 OR -5 > 3

The true statement is -5<3 because all negative values are always less than positive values and not the other way round

-5 is a negative value

3 is a positive

Hence -5 is definitely less than 3.
