Tell whether the sum between the two integers is always, sometimes, or never positive.
Two Positive Integers:
Sometimes
One Positive and one negative integer:
Always
Is it right?
exactly reversed.
How can you possibly add two positive numbers and sometimes get a negative result???
Yes, that is correct. The sum between two positive integers can sometimes be positive, depending on the specific values of the integers. For example, if we add 3 and 5, the sum is positive (8). However, if we add -4 and -8, the sum is negative (-12).
On the other hand, when one integer is positive and the other is negative, the sum is always negative. This is because when we add a positive number and a negative number, the negative number "cancels out" the positive number, resulting in a negative sum. For example, if we add 6 and -9, the sum is -3. Similarly, if we add -2 and 4, the sum is also -2.
