Answer: Yes the sum of any two numbers is greater than the larger of the two numbers.

Explanation:

Yes the sum of any two numbers is greater than the larger of the two numbers.

Let us assume that the two numbers are a and b and ab is the number.

a + b > a

b > a – a

b > 0

This therefore implies that b > 0.

This may however not be true when the value of b is zero(0) or a negative number.
