Question 283028
The question is this:

Is 2>-2? In words: is 2 bigger than -2? We can add numbers to both sides and retain the inequality. So the question is the same as:

Is 2+2>-2+2? Rather, is 4>0? If you have four of something, don't you have more than if you had none of something? 

You can also draw a number line.


-2  -1 0 1 2

The number line by definition adheres to a property called induction which retains the situation that n < n+1 <n+2 <n+3 <n+4 <... < n+n_i.
