Option A:

6 – 4(3) < 5 – 10

Solution:

Given expression is 6 – 4(3) ____ 5 – 10.

Let us first simplify the expression.

Take left side expression.

⇒ 6 – 4(3)

⇒ 6 – 12

⇒ –6

Take right side expression.

⇒ 5 – 10

⇒ –5

To find which symbol makes the expression true.

In negative the highest number is the lowest in value.

–6 < –5

⇒ 6 – 4(3) < 5 – 10

Option A is the correct answer.

Hence 6 – 4(3) < 5 – 10.
