GIVEN: ab is NEGATIVE and bc is POSITIVE

So, (ab)(bc) = (NEGATIVE)(POSITIVE) = NEGATIVE
Simplify left side to get: ab²c = NEGATIVE
Rewrite as: (ac)(b²) = NEGATIVE
Since b² must be positive, we can write: (ac)(POSITIVE) = NEGATIVE
This tells us that ac must be NEGATIVE

So, we get:
Quantity A: NEGATIVE
Quantity B: 0

0 is greater than a NEGATIVE number
Answer: [spades]B[/spades]

Cheers,
Brent
