Question

Could two negative integers have the same difference as two positive integers? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Answer:

Heres what i think

Step-by-step explanation:

Is the difference of a negative integer and a positive sometimes positive?

No. For example  (−3)−(+2)=−3–2=−5 .

It is always like that, if you start with a number to the left of zero on the number line, and subtract a positive number from it, you will move even further to the left, i.e. still negative, in fact “more negative” in the sense that its absolute value is larger.
