Answer 1

Answer:

Both expressions are equal. One expression cannot be greater than the others.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expressions are:

A:   (x + y)

B:   (x) + (y)

Let x = a and y = b

A:   (a+b) = a+b

B:   (a)+(b) = a+b

Let x = -a and y = -b

A:   (-a+ (-b)) = -a-b

B:   (-a)+(-b) = -a-b

Let x = a and y = -b

A:   (a+(-b)) = a-b

B:   (a)+(-b) = a-b

Let x = -a and y = b

A:   ((-a)+b) = -a+b

B:   (-a)+(b) = -a+b

We can see the pattern that both expressions are always equal to each other, no matter what value of x and y you plug in. One expression cannot be greater than the other
