Answer 2

Answer:

The successor of the predecessor of the -40 is -40.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we want to find successor of the predecessor of the -40.

But now questions are what is successor ? and what is predecessor?

x is a number then predecessor of x is $(x - 1)$

and successor is $(x + 1)$

So,we can say for predecessor of any number we should substract 1 from the number and for successor we should add 1 with the number.

By some examples we can understand this concept easily.

Example -1:

We are taking 5.

So, predecessor of 5 is $(5 - 1) = 4$

and successor is $(5 + 1) = 6$

Example -2:

We are taking (-80)

So, predecessor of (-80) is $( - 80 - 1) = - 81$

and successor is $( - 80 + 1) = - 79$

Here given number is (-40)

So, predecessor of (-40) is $( - 40 - 1) = - 41$

and successor is $( - 40 + 1) = - 39$

Now successor of the predecessor of the -40 = successor of (-41)

and successor of (-41) is $( - 41 + 1) = - 40$
