$${a}={b}+\delta,\:\delta>\mathrm{0} \\ $$ $${c}={d}+\varrho,\:\varrho>\mathrm{0} \\ $$ $${a}−{c}=\left({b}−{d}\right)+\left(\delta−\varrho\right) \\ $$ $$\left({a}−{c}\right)−\left({b}−{d}\right)=\left(\delta−\varrho\right) \\ $$ $$ \\ $$ $${if}\:\delta>\varrho,\:\left({a}−{c}\right)−\left({b}−{d}\right)>\mathrm{0} \\ $$ $$\Rightarrow{a}−{c}\:{is}\:{greater}\:{than}\:{b}−{d} \\ $$ $$ \\ $$ $${if}\:\delta=\varrho,\:\left({a}−{c}\right)−\left({b}−{d}\right)=\mathrm{0} \\ $$ $$\Rightarrow{a}−{c}\:{is}\:{equal}\:{to}\:{b}−{d} \\ $$ $$ \\ $$ $${if}\:\delta<\varrho,\:\left({a}−{c}\right)−\left({b}−{d}\right)<\mathrm{0} \\ $$ $$\Rightarrow{a}−{c}\:{is}\:{less}\:{than}\:{b}−{d} \\ $$ | ||
