Question

WELP WILL MARK BRAINLEST 4. Part A: Jerry claimed that the expression -8 + d is negative. Determine whether Jerry's claim is always true, sometimes true, or never true. Provide evidence to support your conclusion. (10 points)

Answer 1

Sometimes true, depends on d. ex: -8 + -8 is negative, but -8 + 9 is positive

Answer 2

Answer:  His claim is SOMETIMES true.

Let's just take an example, d=2.

-8 + 2 equals -6, so negative. BUT, let's say d=9.

-8 + 9 equals 1, 1 is positive.

Jerry's claim is sometimes true.
