Question

We pair of negative integers x and y such that

I) x-y -- 5

2) y-x -- -4
​

Answer 1

Answer:

(-2) - (-3) > (-2)  

(-2) - (-3) > (-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

So you want integers x and y such that  

x - y > x and x - y > y  

From x - y > x we get y < 0.  

From x - y > y we get x > 2y.  

So y has to be a negative integer and x has to be greater than 2y.  

OK. So if y = -3, we can let x = -2 since -2 > 2(-3).  

(-2) - (-3) = -2 + 3 = 1  

1 > (-2)  

1 > (-3)  

So  

(-2) - (-3) > (-2)  

(-2) - (-3) > (-3)
