What combination of signed numbers always leads to a positive number?
If I understand the question correctly, the sum of two positive numbers will *always* yield a positive number. The product of two positive or two negative numbers will always yield a positive number. The division of two positive or two negative numbers will always yield a positive number. There are more examples along this line. I am not sure if this is what you wanted to know.
Is the difference between a positive and a negative number always positive?
yes. if you think of a number line with -5 to the left and all the numbers upto 7 on the right the difference just means how many numbers do you have to move to get from -5 to 7? in this case 13. because this is just a an amount of numbers moving in any direction the answer will always be positive. even if it was -10 to -5 the answer is still 5 because you have only moved 5 places
