The sum

of a negative

and positive

integer is

negative?

Complete question is;

State whether true or false

The sum of a negative integer and a positive integer is always a negative integer.

False

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement is false. This is because it's not in every case that sum of negative integer and a positive integers is equal to zero.

For example let's consider the integers -5 and 8.

The sum is; -5 + 8 = 3

The result is not negative

Whereas if we consider -8 and 5,the sum is; -8 + 5 = -3

This result is negative

So sometimes the sum can yield a positive or negative results.

Thus, the statement in the question is false.
