OpenStudy (precal):

x<y<0 means x and y are negative numbers correct?

OpenStudy (precal):

I suppose I do better using actual numbers to reason this one out

OpenStudy (precal):

I sub all three case A: -1<1 case B: -6<-2 case C: 2>1 I pick all three cases

OpenStudy (precal):

is my thinking or approach incorrect?

OpenStudy (akashdeepdeb):

Yes.

OpenStudy (akashdeepdeb):

But That is Plug. In. Did you get the logic why it is happening? Why all three are right?

OpenStudy (akashdeepdeb):

@precal ?

OpenStudy (precal):

because x<y<0 is the given condition

OpenStudy (akashdeepdeb):

Yeah! But you UNDERSTOOD why -> x+1<y+2 has to be right, right? :D

OpenStudy (akashdeepdeb):

Well, Yeah! I think you got it! And your approach was right. :D
