The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

M and n are both integers. Select all the statements that are true if m and n are also equal to each other.

A. m - n = n - m

B. 0 = m - n

C. m + (-n) = m - n

D. m + n = 0

Answer :

A. m - n = n - m

B. 0 = m - n

C. m + (-n) = m - n

Explanation :

It is given that m and n are integers and they both are equal to each other.

i.e. m = n

Therefore for option (A),

m - n = n - m

m - m = m - m (since m and n are equal)

0 = 0

Therefore, the statement (A) is true.

For option (B),

0 = m - n

0 = m - m (since m and n are equal)

0 = 0

Therefore, the statement (B) is true.

For option (C),

m + (-n) = m - n

m + (-m) = m - m (since m and n are equal)

m - m = m - m

0 = 0

Therefore, the statement (C) is true.

Now for option (D),

m + n = 0

m + m ≠ 0 (since m and n are equal)

2m ≠ 0

Therefore, the statement (D) is false.

Hence, the options (A), (B) and (C) are true.
