@Sakigirl Scan the problem and the options. It's about two numbers whose difference is greater than their sum. Let x and y be the numbers. x - y > x + y x - x > y + y 0 > 2y 2y < 0 y < 0 which means y is negative. So, at least one of the two numbers is negative. -------------- Note: In working SAT problems, you don't have to work problems with the same neatness with every step shown as you do for math class. There are sometimes several strategies to solving a problem. Elimination of options is one of them. Speaking for myself, when one of the options is "none of these," I don't use the elimination technique. By working practice problems, you can find what works best for you.
