Question

PLEASE HELP NEED ASAPPPPPPP

Answer 1

a and b are positive

Explanation:

We are given that

`a-3>b-3`

`b>4`

We have to find that a and b are positive or negative.

We have

`b>4`

It means b is positive and greater than 4.

`a-3>b-3`

Adding 3 on both sides

`a-3+3>b-3+3`

`a>b>4`

`\implies a>4`

Hence, a is positive and greater than 4.

Therefore, a and b are positive
