Math, microeconomics or criminal justice
ut>vt
divide both sides by t to get
u>v
I is True
(it's only True because t>0. had t<0, division by t would have reversed the inequality sign)
that eliminates b) as the right answer
that leaves a), c) or d)
u+t>v+t
subtract t from both sides to get
u>v
II is true
that eliminates a)
leaving either c) or d) as correct
u-t>v-t
add t to both sides leaving
u>v
d) is correct, I,II and III are all correct

Try making up a specific example to see what might be true. Making up a specific example is not a proof (or guarantee), but it helps to get an idea. Try u = 10, v=9, t = 2 and see which of the statements are true for those values. Make up a few more. You can use negative numbers for u and v, but t must be positive.12/13/22
