Answer 1

Answer:

The other integer is +11

Explaination:

-99+11=-80

Answer 2

Answer:

Missing integer is $19$ . Opposite of the smaller among the two integers is $99$.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : Missing integer and opposite of the smaller among the two integers .

Given : sum of two integers is $-80$ . If one of the integers is $-99$.

Solution :

• As per given data we know that sum of two integers is $-80$ . If one of the integers is $-99$.
• Let , $x$ be the missing number .
• According to given condition we write as , $x + (-99) = -80$ .
• Using transposition method we find the value of $x$ ,by transposing constant at RHS and leaving variable at LHS .

         $x + (-99) = -80\\\\x -99 = -80 \\\\x = -80 + 99\\\\x = 19$

• Among both integers $(-99)$ and $19$,  $(-99)$ is the smaller , hence  opposite of $(-99)$ is  $99$ .
