Answer 2

Given:

Given expressions are (-8)+(-4) and (-8)-(-4).

To find:

The true statement.

Solution:

To determine the true statement from the above expression we have to follow the below steps as follows-

The sum of -8 and -4 is given as-

$- 8 - 4 = - 12$

The subtraction of -8 and -4 is given as-

$- 8 - ( - 4) \\ = - 8 + 4 \\ = - 4$

The value of (-8)+(-4) is -12 and (-8)-(-4) is -4. -12 is smaller than -4.

Hence the true statement is (-8)+(-4) < (-8)-(-4).
