if x,y,z are integers
is x + y - z > x - y + z

1. yz 0is y>z

from one

yz<0 source of negativity could be either x or z...insuff

from 2

y+z<0 both could be negative ( no info about magnitude) or one +ve and other -ve.insuff

both together(add)

yz+y+z < 0

y(z+1) <-z we know that y,z have apposite signs

if z is -ve then y is +ve and if z is +ve then y is -ve remains a valid relation after adding the two inequalities together

thus E IS MY ANSWER TOO


Welcome back ! :)
