Question

Complete the conjecture.
The sum of two negative numbers is ___________.

  1. Positive
  2. Negative
  3. Odd
  4. Even

hintHint:

step - 1 - let the two negative numbers be -a and -b.
step 2 - sum of two negative numbers = (-a) + (-b) = - (a + b)

The correct answer is: Negative


    To find - the sum of two negative numbers
    step - 1 - let the two negative numbers be -a and -b.
    step 2 - sum of two negative numbers = (-a) + (-b) = - (a + b)

    Hence, the sum of two negative numbers is negative.

    Which numbers are not counterexamples for the following statement?
    For any numbers a and b, a over b = a - b

    Therefore, a = 4, b = 2 satisfies the statement a over b = a - b. Hence, a = 4, b = 2 are not counterexamples of the statement a over b = a - b.
