Hello,

An integer is a rational number (ex 5=5/1=10/2...)
The sum of 2 rationals is a rational.
Substract a rational is adding its opposite.
The difference of 2 rationals is always a rational (substraction is a intern law)

Not always. It depends on the teacher and the school. Depends on the rules and how your being tought.
