Is the difference of two negative integers always positive?
If difference is taken to mean the first number minus the second then the answer can be positive or negative (or zero if the two numbers are the same). For example: the difference between -5 and -3 is -2 while the difference between -3 and -5 is +2.
Is the difference of two whole numbers always a whole number?
No. You can subtract two whole numbers and get a negative result. Whole numbers can't be negative.
What is the difference between two numbers is 10 If the numbers are doubled what is What is the difference between them?
the difference is also doubled
When is it difference of a positive and negative integer positive?
The difference between a positive integer and a negative integer is ALWAYS positive.Suppose X and Y are positive so that -Y is negative,The the difference two numbers, A and B is A - B so the difference between X and (-Y) is X - (-Y) which equals X + Y. The sum of two positive numbers is always positive.
What two numbers have a difference of negative 11 and a sum of negative 3?
-7 and 4?
Is the difference between two rational Numbers always negative?
No.
Is the difference of two positives a positive?
The difference between two numbers is the result of a subtraction. This can be either positive or negative.
How do you teach the difference between negative numbers?
Put all the numbers - zero, positive, negative - on a number line. Positive numbers to the left, negative numbers to the right. The difference between any two numbers is represented by the distance between them. Thus putting numbers on a number line is a great visualization tool.
Is the difference of two positive numbers positive?
The difference between two numbers is the result of a subtraction. This can be either positive or negative, depending on which number is greater.
Is the difference between two positive numbers negative?
The difference between ANY two numbers that are different, is positive. For example, the difference between -5 and -3 is 2. You can move two whole numbers either up from -5, or down from -3, on the number line.
The difference between any two negative numbers is always negative?
That statement is false. For example, (-2) - (-3) = 1 which is a positive number created from two negative numbers when subtracted.
What do you get when you subtract a negative and a positive?
You get the difference between the sizes of the two numbers without regard for their sign, and the difference has the same sign as the larger of the two original numbers.
How do you decide if the difference of two numbers is positive negative zero without calculating the difference?
Formally, the difference between two numbers, x and y, is abs(x - y) which is never negative. If the two numbers are the same then the difference is 0 else it is positive. If you define the difference as x - y then it is positive if x > y, 0 if x = y and negative if x < y.
Is the difference of two negative integers always positive?
If difference is taken to mean the first number minus the second then the answer can be positive or negative (or zero if the two numbers are the same). For example: the difference between -5 and -3 is -2 while the difference between -3 and -5 is +2.
What is the difference between the two even numbers?
Subtract the two numbers to get their difference.
What is a subtraction problem in which the difference between two negative numbers results in a positive number?
You require a pair of negative numbers in which the second has a larger magnitude.For example,8 > 5Then the difference between the negative of the second number and the negative of the first is-5 - (-8) = -5 + 8 = +3
Is the difference of two whole numbers always a whole number?
No. You can subtract two whole numbers and get a negative result. Whole numbers can't be negative.
