Yes
When you subtract a negative integer from another integer, the result is greater than the original integer. This is because subtracting a negative is equivalent to adding its positive counterpart. For example, subtracting -3 from 5 (5 - (-3)) is the same as adding 3, resulting in 8, which is greater than 5.

To subtract an integer from another integer, you can add the opposite of the integer you want to subtract. For example, to calculate (7 - 3), you can instead compute (7 + (-3)). This gives you (7 - 3 = 4). Similarly, for (5 - 8), you would compute (5 + (-8)), resulting in (5 - 8 = -3).
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.

That would be false. When you subtract two positive numbers, you only go into negatives if the number you are subtracting is greater than the number it's being subtracted from. 3 - 2 = 1 2 - 3 = -1
To subtract a negative number is equivalent to adding a positive number. Two negatives multiplied make a positive.
False. Counterexample: -1 - (-2) = -1 + 2 = 1.

no , because the negative integer is not a whole number. A whole number is greater than a negative ! (:

That has no integer solution. Three times an integer is another integer; if you subtract to integers, you get an integer again, not a fraction.
