its true ....because according to integers rules(addition and subtraction ) , if two numbers hav different signs ..i.e, one positive and other negative ,then we find their difference ....now here if you take n as 2 ,then it would be ....2-2 = 0 .....thus for any number n when it has different signs , n-n=0 ...

Hope it helps !!!
