Question

Is the sum of two integers always greater than the difference between them? Why or why not? Give examples to support your answer.

Answer 1

I think the answer is no.
Example: The difference between these 2 integers is greater than the sum of the two integers.
-4 + -5 = - 9
-4 - -5 = 1

Answer 2

No, this statement is not true

Explanation:

We have to prove or disprove that:

Is the sum of two integers always greater than the difference between them.

No, this statement is not true

for example:

Take two integers -2 and -3

Then, sum of -2 and -3 is

-2+(-3)=-2-3=-5

and the difference between them is

-2-(-3)=-2+3=1

-5 is not greater then 1 hence, the statement is false
