Question

4) The sum of a positive number and a negative number is always negative.
True or false ???

Answer 1

answer: false
explanation: No, the sum of a negative and a positive is a negative only if the negative number is larger than the positive one. for example:
-5 +4 = -1
since negative 5 is larger, and it's negative that's why the answer is negative.
5 + -4 = 1
since 5 is the larger number, and it's positive, the number is positive.
