The inequality -14 < 3 shows that the distance between the two numbers on the number line is measured by the positive difference between them. In this case, the number 3 is greater than -14, meaning that the distance between them is the positive value of 3 - (-14) = 3 + 14 = 17 units.
The inequality -14 < 3 indicates that the distance between these two numbers on a number line is greater than zero. This is because the symbol "<" means "less than," so -14 is less than 3. In other words, 3 is located to the right of -14 on the number line. However, the inequality itself does not provide specific information about the exact distance between -14 and 3.
