Answer:
Consider positive integer a opposite is −a
Sum =a+(−a)
=a−a
=0
The given statement is true.
Answer:
If 0 is included in the natural numbers: 0,1,2,3
If 0 is not included in the natural numbers: 1,2,3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let n denote the natural number.
Its opposite is -n
The sum of its opposite and 8 is
-n+8
This is greater than the natural number
n<-n+8
Solve for n
2n<8
n<4
