Let , -3 and -5 , be two negative Integers.

Now sum of two negative integers, always yield a negative integer with negative sign behind the Integer.

⇒ (-3)+(-5)= -8

You will observe that, Numbers on the left of number line ,is always smaller than, number on the right of number line.

→-3 > -8

As, well as,→ -5 > -8

So, We Observe that, Sum of the two integers is always less than both the individual integer.

Answer:

Explanation:

The sum of two negative integers will be less than the value of both of the integers. This is true regardless of which numbers.

Let the first negative integer be -3

The second negative integer is -4

Thus the sum of these two negative integers is:

-3+(-4)

-3-4 = -7

-7< -3

-7< -4....
