According to set theory, natural numbers are identified by cardinalities of sets of natural numbers and the > relation is defined by subsets.

Take the sets A={1,2,3,4} and B={1,2,3}. B is a subset of A, and B is not A. Since A and B are finite, |A| > |B| and so 4 > 3.

Its because 4 its a bigger number than 3, its the same at the example, 2 its bigger than 1.

Maybe u should draw a line and write down all the numbers in order, and you are going to prove it just highlighting the 4 and 3, because the 4 would be further than the 0 than the 3.

As the hint says 2>1
add 2 on both side of the equation
2+2>1+2
4>3

2 > 1
=> 2+ x > 1+x for all x>0( property of numbers)
Taking x = 2,
2+2 > 1+2
=> 4 > 3

Given: If 2 is > than 1

Let A = 2, B = 1

2*A is 4

2*B is 2... 2 + B = 3.

4 > 3

This is assuming you are using the standard values for addition, which are determined just by a common agreement on what # represents a given value.

3>2

add 1 to both sides, u get

3 + 1 > 2+1

therefore, 4>3

assume x+1=3 and x=3

then

inductive hypothesis
x+1>x

now let x=x+1
(x+1)+1 >x+1

x+2>x+1 subtrac 1 from both sides

x+1>x true by initial assumption

thus true

when we subract 3 form 4 ie(4-3) we get a positive value (1) This means we have something left with us

But if we subract 4 from 3(3-4) we get a negative value(-1) This means physically we have nothing left because we cannot physically experience a negative number.(i am not talking about vectorial notation)
