Maru [420]3 years ago

We have to give counter example for the given statement:

"The difference between two integers is always positive"

This statement is not true. As integers is the set of numbers which includes positive and as well as negative numbers including zero.

Consider any two integers say '2' and '-8'. Now, let us consider the difference between these two integers.

So, 2 - 8

= -6 which is not positive.

Therefore, it is not necessary that the difference of two integers is only positive. The difference of two integers can be positive, negative or zero.

Ulleksa [173]
<span>If Priya makes 20% more than James and Siobhan makes 15% less than Priya, then it follows that Priya makes 85% of 120% of James' hourly wage. Which is to say that Siobhan makes 85% of $9.60 per hour. Since 85% of $9.60 is $8.16, this means that Siobhan makes $8.16 an hour.</span>

Khairul is x years old .Khairul`s uncle is 4 times as old as khairul will be in 5 years .Find the present age of Kharuls`s uncle
rodikova [14]

Answer:

4x + 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of Khairul's uncle y.

From the question given above, the following were obtained:

Khairul's age = x years

In 5 years time:

Khairul's age = x + 5

Khairul's uncle age = y + 5

But from the question given above,

Khairul`s uncle will be 4 times as old as what khairul will be in 5 years. This can be written as follow:

y + 5 = 4(x + 5)

Clear bracket

y + 5 = 4x + 20

Subtract 5 from both side

y + 5 – 5 = 4x + 20 – 5

y = 4x + 15

Therefore, Khairul's uncle present age is 4x + 15
