Detailed Solution

45 – (– 11) > 57 + (– 4)
Now solve terms before and after the blank simultaneously.
Since, - & - combines to become +, and + & - combines to become -, thus,

45 +11______57 - 4

56______53

Since, we know on moving left to right on number line number increases and 56 lies in the right of 53, hence,

56 > 53

45 +11 > 57 + − 4

Hence, ‘>’ is the correct answer here.
