Step-by-step explanation:

if a=-10; then:

a+1=-10+1=-9=b

-9>-10

if a=10; then

a+1=10+1=11=b

11>10

A) The pair of values for a and be are: a=-10, then the value of b would be: - 9;

And a=10; then the value of b would be:11;

B) It isn't possible to create a pair of values for a and be, in wich the numerical relationship shown in the given conditional stament is false, therefore b>a if a+1=b
