Question

For the three given integers a = 2, b = 5, c = (-9), check the following properties.
(a) Closure property for subtraction ( for a and b)​

Answer 1

Answer:

a) No, not at all

Step-by-step explanation:

Closure Property

When one whole number is subtracted from another, the difference is not always a whole number. This means that the whole numbers are not closed under subtraction. If a and b are two whole numbers and a − b = c, then c is not always a whole number. Take a = 7 and b = 5, a − b = 7 − 5 = 2 and b − a = 5 − 7 = −2 (not a whole number).
