Question

The sum of 2 numbers is -42 if one number is -22 so wht will be the other number

Answer 1

• The other number = –20.

Given :–

• The sum of two numbers = –42.
• The one number = –22.

To Find :–

• The other number.

Solution :–

Let,

The other number be x.

According to the condition,

The sum of two numbers is –42.

I.e.,

One number + Other number = Sum of both numbers.

We have,

• One number = –22.
• Sum of both numbers = –42.

Now,

$\implies - 22 + x = - 42$

$\implies x = - 42 + 22$

$\implies x = - 20$

Hence,

The other number is –20.

Verification :–

One number + Other number = Sum of both numbers

Now we have,

• One number = –22.
• Other number = –20.
• Sum of both numbers = –42.

Now, substitute this values.

$\implies - 22 + ( - 20) = - 42$

We know that,

• Negative × Positive = Negative.

So,

$\implies - 22 - 20 = - 42$

$\implies - 42 = - 42$

Hence Verified !!

Answer 2

$\huge \boxed{ \tt{ :)}}$

Given :

The sum of two numbers is -42 and one of them is -22

To find :

The other number

Solution :

Let , the other number be " x "

According to the question ,

-22 + x = -42

x = -42 + 22

x = -20

Therefore , the other number is -20
