Question

The sum of two integers is 14 if one of them is minus 12 find the other

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the two integers be X and y. now it is given that one no. is -12 = x (say).

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: x+y =14

step 2 : putting X =-12

y=14+12

step 3: y=26

Answer 2

(two integers are X and y)

Step-by-step explanation:

X+y=14

let y be -12

so,

X+(-12)=14

x-12=14

X=14+12

=26.

proof:

lhs=26+(-12)

rhs=14

LHS=26-12=14

therefore, LHS=rhs
