Question

Which of the following is true? (а) (- 8) + (- 4) > (- 8) – (- 4) (b) (- 8) + (- 4) < (- 8) – (- 4) (c) (- 8) + (- 4) = (- 8) – (- 4) (d) none of these

Answer 1

Answer:

B option is correct that is (-8)+(-4)<(-8)-(-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

this is because

(-8)+(-4)=-12

and

(-8)-(-4)= -4

Answer 2

Answer:

OPTION  B is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

For option A

LHS = (-8) + (-4) = -12

RHS = (-8) - (-4) = -4

      ∴ LHS < RHS for option A.

For option B

LHS = (-8) + (-4) = -12

RHS = (-8) - (-4) = -4

∴ LHS < RHS for option B.

For option C

LHS = (-8) + (-4) = -12

RHS = (-8) - (-4) = -4

∴ LHS < RHS for option C.

∴ Option B is the correct answer.
