Answer:

8×(−2)−(−4)^2 < 36÷9+2×5

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
