8 and -8 8+(-8)=0 8-(-8)=16
7 and -4
That's because the integers may be negative. For example, the sum of (-6) and (-6) is (-12), which is less than their difference (0).
The only mathematical difference is that the set of integers (excluding 0), with two exceptions, does not have inverses whereas the set of rational numbers (excluding 0) does. This is equivalent to the statement that the set of non-zero integers is not closed under division whereas the set of non-zero rationals is.
The integers are -7 and -5.
8 and -8; 8 + (-8) = 8 - 8 = 0, and 8 - (-8) = 8 + 8 = 16
The product of the two integers is -80.

When the integers are negative.
Yes, the difference between two integers is always a whole number.
Not necessarily. The difference between a = 7 & b = 7 is 0, and that is not a natural number.
-- write the difference between the integers without regard to their signs -- give the difference the same sign as the larger of the two integers
The integers are -7 and -5.
The two integers are -4 and 7.
