Which is a counterexample to the following conjecture? the difference of two numbers is less than at least one of the numbers. (–4) – (­–9) = 5 (–3) – 5 = –8 8 – 1 = 7 12 – 7 = 5

Counter example is:

(–4) – (­–9) = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to determine a counter example of the statement:

The difference of two numbers is less than at least one of the numbers.

(–4) – (­–9) = 5

Here, we have to find the difference of two numbers -4 and -9

On subtracting -9 from -4 , we get

(–4) – (­–9) = 5

But 5 is greater than -9 and -4 both

Hence, Counter example to the above statement is:

(–4) – (­–9) = 5

12 – 7 = 5
