–3
8

–1
8

1 answer

To determine which sign makes the statement true, I'll assume that the statement is of the form "x ? y", where "?" represents a sign that could be either greater than (>), less than (<), equal to (=), etc.

Let's analyze the two pairs you've given:

  1. –3 and 8
    • –3 < 8 (True)
    • –3 > 8 (False)
    • –3 = 8 (False)

So the statement with the sign "<" is true when comparing –3 to 8.

  1. –1 and 8
    • –1 < 8 (True)
    • –1 > 8 (False)
    • –1 = 8 (False)

Again, the statement with the sign "<" is also true when comparing –1 to 8.

If the question is regarding which sign holds for both pairs in the statements you've given, then both pairs are true when using the "<" sign.

If you meant to ask something different or if there's a specific mathematical operation or comparison you want to apply, please clarify!
