Question

If a + 1 = b, then b > a.

Answer 1

Answer with explanation:

A)

When a is positive:

     Let us consider a=10

      and a+1=b

       This implies that:

          b=11

     As we know that 11>10

           Hence, b>a

When a is negative:

   Let us consider a= -2

      and a+1=b

       This implies that:

          b= -1   (Since -2+1= -1 )

     As we know that -1 > -2

           Hence, b>a

B)

No, it is not possible to create a set of values for a and b such that the numerical relationship shown in the given conditional statement is false .

Since as we no that no matter whether a is positive or negative we always have:

                        a < a+1

Hence,      a< b  ( Since b=a+1 )

for all the values of  a and b.

Answer 2

If a=-10;then:
a+1=-10+1=-9=b
-9>-10

if a=10; then
a+1=10+1=11=b
11>10
A)The pair of values for a and be are: a=-10, then the value of b would be: -9;
And a=10; then the value of b would be:11;

B) It isn´t possible to create a pair of values for a and be, in wich the numerical relationship shown in the given conditional stament is false, therefore b>a if a+1=b
