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

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

Given:
\textsf{a} > \textsf{b}

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

Solution: We know that a is greater than b and we also know that we are going to be adding c to both sides which means that both sides would increase by the same amount. Therefore a + c would still be greater than b + c giving us the expression of a + c > b + c.
