a < b, then a + c < b + c is true or false.....this inequality is true if and only if c > or = 0

If a < b, a + c < b + c
This inequality is true for all real values of a,b,c.
Even if c is negative, if a < b, a + c will be less than b + c.
Example: Check with a = 7, b = 10, c = -20
7 < 10
a + c = 7 - 20 = -13
b + c = 10 - 20 = -10
-13 < -10
