Chapter 6, Problem 1CT

To determine

To find: relation between $x$ and $z$ using $<,=,>$

Answer to Problem 1CT

  $x>z$

Explanation of Solution

Given information: $x>y,y=z$

In order to find relation between $x$ and $z$ , signs $>,<,=$ can be used.

It’s given that $x>y$

That is $x$ is greater than $y$

Also, $y=z$

That is $y$ is equal to $z$ .

As $x$ is greater than $y$ and $y$ is equal to $z$ ,

  $x$ is greater than $z$ .

That is $x>z$

So,

If $x>y$ and $y=z$ , then $x>z$
