Question

will the opposite of a number sometimes or never be greater than the number itself

Answer 1

it could be greater if that number was a negative or if the number is a positive it could be less then it's opposite. ex. 58 is greater than -58 they are opposite. ex.-19 is less than 19

Answer 2

The opposite of a number sometimes can be greater than the number itself, it depends on what type of number it is, negative or positive. If the number is a negative than its opposite is always greater than itself. On the other hand if the number is positive, then its opposite is NEVER greater than itself.
