Question 609492: hello,
We are having problems with this question:
Compare x and y (>,<,=, or insufficient information) if x and y are both negative and x divided by y =2.

both numbers are negative , so the division "cancels" the negative signs

the absolute value of x is twice as large as y; but since they are both negative, x is less than y
___ like -6 is less than -3
