Choose any two negative integer. Is the sum of integers less than or greater then the value of either of the integers? Will this be true no matter which integers you choose? Explain

The sum of the integers is greater than the value of either of the integers. This will be true no matter which integers you choose because a positive value is always greater than a negative value.

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

For example, -2 and -1

-1 + (-2) = -3

-3 < -1
-3 < -2

Hope that helped :)
