What is a pair of integers whose difference is 8?

Published in Mathematics 1 min read

One example of a pair of integers whose difference is 8 is (10, 2).

Here's why:

  • Definition of Difference: The difference between two numbers is the result of subtracting one from the other.
  • Calculation: In the example above, 10 - 2 = 8.

There are infinitely many such pairs. Here are a few more examples:

  • (9, 1) because 9 - 1 = 8
  • (0, -8) because 0 - (-8) = 8
  • (-2, -10) because -2 - (-10) = 8
  • (100, 92) because 100 - 92 = 8
  • (-5, -13) because -5 - (-13) = 8

In general, for any integer x, the pair (x + 8, x) will have a difference of 8.
