The sum of a negative and positive integer is negative?

Mathematics

Complete question is;

State whether true or false

The sum of a negative integer and a positive integer is always a negative integer.

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement is false. This is because it's not in every case that sum of negative integer and a positive integers is equal to zero.

For example let's consider the integers -5 and 8.

The sum is; -5 + 8 = 3

The result is not negative

Whereas if we consider -8 and 5,the sum is; -8 + 5 = -3

This result is negative

So sometimes the sum can yield a positive or negative results.

Thus, the statement in the question is false.

Hello I don’t understand question 9 a and b. Please show working out.<br> Thanks

A) I would make the positive integer x and then form an equation.

x + 30 = x^2 - 12
x + 42 = x^2
0 = x^2 - x - 42 this can be factorised
(x - 7) ( x + 6) Therefore x = 7 or x = -6

Since the question asks for a positive integer the answer is 7.

B) two positive numbers x and y.

X - y = 3
x^2 + y^2 = 117

Use these simultaneous equations to figure out each number.

Rearrange the first equation

x = y + 3

Then substitute it into the second equation.

(y+3)^2 + y^2 = 117
y^2 + 6y + 9 + y^2 = 117
2y^2 + 6y - 108 = 0
then factorise this.
(2y - 12) (y + 9)

This means that y = 6 or y = -9 but it’s 6 because that’s the only positive number.

Use y to find x

x = y + 3
x = 6 + 3
x = 9

So the answers are x = 9 and y = 6.
