Ni Critique Patrick thinks that when a is a negative integer and b is a positive
below and decide whether they are true or false. For statements that are true, give
integer, each of the following statements is always true. Read the statements
an example to support Patrick's claim. For statements that are false, give a
counterexample.
a. 0-b is positive.
b.
b. b-a is positive.
100
60-(-6) is negative.
80

Step-by-step explanation:

Patrick thinks that when 'a' is a negative integer and 'b' is a positive,

Let "a = -2" and "b = 3"

a). a - b is positive.

a - b = -2 - 3

            = -5 {negative]

Therefore, statement is False.

(a - b) is negative.

b). b - a is positive.

b - a = 3 - (-2)

       = 3 + 2

       = 5 [Positive]

Statement is True.

c). a - (-b) is negative.

a - (-b) = a + b

          = -2 + 3

          = 1 [Positive]

False.

But it's true when a = -5 and b = 3

a - (-b) = -5 - 3

           = -8 [Negative]

the answer is b to that question
