Well what I stated is true: c > 0 if b >= 0 Although it is not true that b >= 0 if c > 0 right. But you got what I meant. Thanks for the answer!

            Is it possible to get the conditions under which an expression would be true. Example:
syms a b c
assume(a > 0)
c = a+ b
isAlways(c >0 )
Warning: Unable to prove '0 < a + b'. 
> In symengine
  In sym/isAlways (line 42)
  In LiveEditorEvaluationHelperEID289025349 (line 314)
  In matlab.internal.editor.evaluateRegions
  In matlab.internal.editor.EvaluationOutputsService.evalRegions 
Now I would like to receive the information that c > 0 if b >= 0.
That possible?

        No, that's not possible because as you've stated your solution it's not true. c can be greater than 0 even if b is negative.
a = 1;
b = -0.5;
c = a+b
For c to be greater than 0, b must be greater than -a which does not necessarily require it to be greater than 0.You can ask solve to return conditions.
syms a b c
assume(a > 0)
c = a + b
[S, params, conditions] = solve(c > 0, b, 'ReturnConditions', true)
b can be any value x such that -a < x.
