use <, >, or = to compare the following numbers.

Explanation:

Step1: Compare 10 and 4

Positive numbers: larger digit is larger. Since (10>4).

Step2: Compare -5 and -3

For negative numbers: the one with smaller absolute value is larger. (\vert -5\vert = 5), (\vert -3\vert=3), so (-5 < -3).

Step3: Compare 0 and -12

0 is greater than any negative number. So (0>-12).

Answer:

(10>4), (-5 < -3), (0>-12)
