Question

Find the two integers whose sum is ( -12 ) and difference is ( -2 )​

Answer 1

Answer:

let one integer be x other be y

acc. to question

x+y=-12. -(1) -(2)

x-y=-2.

eq. (1)+(2) will give us

2x=-14

x=-7

putting value of x in (1) we get

y=-5

Answer 2

Answer:

The integers are (-7) and (-5) respectively,

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two integers be x and y respectively,

ATQ,

x+y=(-12)            ---(1)

and,

x-y=(-2)              ---(2)

(1)+(2), we get,

x+x+y-y=(-12-2)

=> 2x=(-14)

=> x=(-7)

Substituting the value of x in (1), we get,

-7+y=(-12)

=> y=7-12

=> y=(-5)

So, the integers are (-7) and (-5) respectively,
