Question

What will be the difference of
(i) two negative integers
(ii)two positive integers
(iii) a negative and a positive integer?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference of any two negative integers is a negative integer. The statement is not necessarily true.

We will take an example by considering two negative integers.

Explanation:

This statement is not necessarily true. For example, let's take two negative integers, -7 and -9 

Now consider the difference: -7 - (-9) = -7 + 9 = 2

Here, 2 is a positive integer.

Therefore, the difference of any two negative integers is a negative integer. The statement is not necessarily true.
