Tell whether the difference between the two integers is always, sometimes, or never positive. A negative integer and a positive integer     

 

Sometimes.  You can tell by trying examples; all you need is one of each.  

 

The tricky one is when you subtract a negative number, like a – (–b). 

The negative, times a negative, makes a plus, you end up with a + b.
