Question

When adding, the sum is ____________ greater than the addends.. ( always, sometimes, never ? ) PLS HELP

Answer 1

are the two numbers added always positive??
if yes the answer would be ALWAYS

Answer 2

so its always ?

Answer 3

5+(-10) = -5

so like hoblos said, it depends on what they define as addition

Answer 4

so is it always or sometimes ?

Answer 5

it depends on the material from which the question was gotten from; do they define addition here as only on the natural numbers? or on any reals?

Answer 6

i dont know, thats all they say

Answer 7

then id assume its talking about al reals; therefore; sometimes.

but without knowing a specific domain its a guess at best

Answer 8
