Question

1 The sum of two integers is -16. If one of them is 53, find the other.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given :-

• The sum of two integers is - 16.
• One of them is 53.

To Find :-

• What is the other number.

Solution :-

Let,

$\mapsto$ The other number be x

As we know that :

$\bigstar\: \: \sf\boxed{\bold{\pink{First\: Integers\: +\: Second\: Integers =\: Sum\: of\: two\: Integers}}}$

Given :

• First integers = 53
• Second integers = x
• Sum of two integers = - 16

According to the question by using the formula we get,

$\longrightarrow \sf 53 + x =\: - 16$

$\longrightarrow \sf x =\: - 16 - 53$

$\longrightarrow \sf x =\: - 69$

$\longrightarrow \sf\bold{\red{x =\: - 69}}$

$\therefore$ The other number is - 69.

VERIFICATION :-

$\implies \sf 53 + x =\: - 16$

By putting x = - 69 we get,

$\implies \sf 53 + (- 69) =\: - 16$

$\implies \sf 53 - 69 =\: - 16$

$\implies \sf\bold{\purple{- 16 =\: - 16}}$

Hence, Verified.
