arithmetic without introducing inconsistencies. Explain the reasoning leading to Wallis's paradoxical claim that, if negative numbers are less than zero, they must be greater than infinity. Wallis's argument depends, in part, on the assertion that (3/-1) = -3. Must this be true? Why or why not? If a student proposed Wallis's argument, how would you respond?

A student claims she can prove that subtraction of integers is commutative. She points out that if a and b are integers, then a - b = a + b. Since addition is commutative, so is subtraction. What is your response? Choose the correct answer below. A. The student is incorrect. Although a - b = a + b, the argument is not complete because a - b = a + b and b-a = b + -a and a+ - b‡b + -a. B. The student is correct. Subtraction is commutative because a-b=a+b and b - a = b + -a and a+b=b+ - a.
