Question

The sum of 8 and a negative integer is (-6).Find the negative integer.If the same negative integer is subtracted from 8, find the difference.

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the number be x.

The equation:

x + 8 = (- 6)

x = - 6 - 8

= - 14

If the same negative integer is subtracted from 8, we get,

-8 - (- 14)

= - 8 + 14

= 6
