Question

Suppose the sum of two integers is negative. Must both integers be negative

Answer 1

The statement "The sum of 2 negative integers is always negative" is true.

Step-by-step explanation:
Let, −a and −b be two negative integers. So, a and b are positive integers. Therefore, −a+(−b)=−(a+b). Here, a+b is positive integer, as a and b are both positive. Hence, −(a+b) is negative integer, which is sum of negative integers.
