Answer:

(d) none of these.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Option (B) is true .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :- Problem statement :

• (-8)+(-4) > (-8)-(-4)
• (-8) + (-4) < (-8) - (-4 )
• (-8) + (-4) = ( -8) - ( -4)
• none of these

To find :- which of the following is true .

Solution :-

Step 1) Let us solve , each of the following

a) ( -8 ) + ( -4  ) > (-8) - ( -4 )

   -8 - 4          >   -8 + 4

    -12             > -4 -- (1)

Not true , since on the number line -12 < -4 .

b)  (-8) + ( -4 ) <  (-8 ) - ( -4 )

     - 12           <  -4

True , Since -12 < -4 .

c ) (-8) + ( -4) = (-8) - (-4)

     -12 = -4

This is Not true .

Thus , Option (B) is true .
