Answer:
\textsf{a - c } > \textsf{ b - c}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Given:
\textsf{a} > \textsf{b and c} > \textsf{0}

Find:
\textsf{a - c } \_\_\_ \textsf{ b - c}

Solution: Since we know that a is greater than b this means that no matter if we subtract or add a constant to both sides a would stay greater than b. Therefore, this would give us the expression of a - c > b - c.
