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.

B) < because the more negative or the farther away from zero a number is the smaller it is 
c) = because if you subtract a negative number you are basically adding
d) = because anytime you multiply a negative by positive your answer will always be negative

a) -11 because -8+3=-5 and -5-6=-11
b) 11 because when you multiply a negative number by another negative your answer will always be positive so -3x-2=6 and 6+5=11
c) -4 because a negative number divided by a positive is always negative 
d)42 because a negative number subtracted by a positive number makes a number more negative (btw always solve things in parenthesis first) so -4-3=-7 and again a negative multiplied by another negative is always positive so -7x-6=42

So you cannot really get the exact measure because they didn't give you any measures, but we can infer that if c>b and a then
maybe SX (d) is more than b and a so

a<b<c or d not sure which
