Question 45

Answer True/False.

If $x$ is a negative integer, $-x$ is a positive integer.

Answer 1

True.

$x$ is a negative integer.

We can represent $x$ as $-y$.

$\therefore$$-\left(x\right)$ = $-(-y)=y$ which is a positive integer.

For example,

Let the negative integer $x=-3$

$-x=-(-3)=3$ which is a positive integer.
