Question

you know the sum of -5 and another integer is a positive integer. What can you conclude about the sign of the other integer? What can you conclude about the value of the other integer?

Answer 1

In order for the sum to be a positive integer, the sign of the other integer needs to be positive and the value needs to be greater than -5. If it wasn't greater than -5 or if it was negative then the sum of them would be a negative integer.
