Given a pair of integers (a, b), can their sum and difference both be zero?

Mathematics

ScanSolve AI Answer

Let the two integers be aa and bb.
The sum of the integers is S=a+bS = a+b.
The difference of the integers is D=a−bD = a-b.

The question asks if there is any pair of integers (a,b)(a,b) such that both their sum and their difference satisfy the condition given in the options.

Let's analyze each option:

  • Option (b) zero. We need to find if there's a pair of integers (a,b)(a,b) such that a+b=0a+b=0 AND a−b=0a-b=0. We have a system of two linear equations:
    1. a+b=0a+b=0
    2. a−b=0a-b=0
