Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

From my knowledge, negative 8 is 8 units to the left of zero, while 21 is 21 units to the left.

This means that they are two different negative numbers! If you see an equation like this, it would be labeled as false.

I'm quite sure I am correct, tell me so if otherwise! :)
