-8
It can be greater than, equal or less than the original integer. There are three possible values for the second integer: It is positive, in which case the result will be less than the original integer, eg 5 - 2 = 3 and 3 < 5;It is zero, in which case the result will be the same as the original integer, eg 5 - 0 = 5 and 5 = 5;It is negative, in which case the result will be greater than the original integer, eg 5 - -2 = 7 and 7 > 5.
A counterexample to the statement "the difference of two integers is less than either integer" can be demonstrated with the integers 5 and 3. The difference is (5 - 3 = 2). Here, 2 is not less than either integer, as it is less than 5 but greater than 3. Thus, this example shows that the difference can be less than one integer but not the other.

An integer is a whole number, and the largest integer less than 9.5 would be 9.4

The number was less than -2, for example - 3,000,000 -3,000,000 -(-2) = -3,000,000 + 2 = -2,999,998

less than
The integer "-8" is less than "-7".
An integer can be negative or positive, so if the integer is, let's say, -6. The opposite, or absolute value, of -6, is 6. So in this case, the opposite has more value than the actual integer. Does that answer the question? :D Best of luck, BrandonRocker98

Subtract any POSITIVE integer from -2, and you get an integer that is smaller.
An integer is a whole number, and the largest integer less than 9.5 would be 9.4
Not always because it could be less than 0 as for example -3 because an integer is a whole number without decimals or fractions
It would be any integer that is ten (10) less than itself: Example: 100, 90, 80, 70, etc. Or -100, -110, -120. -130 etc.
