Answer 2

Answer:

The second number is -2099

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The sum of two integers = -1500

One number = 599

To find,

The second number

Solution:

Let the second number be 'x'

Hence the two numbers are 599 and 'x'

The sum of two numbers = 599 +x

Since it is given that the sum of the two numbers = -1500, we have

599 +x = -1500

Subtracting 599 on both sides we get

599 +x - 599 = -1500 - 599

x = -1500 - 599

Since, the sum of two negative numbers is the sum of the two numbers with a negative sign, we have

-1500 - 599 = -2099

x = -1500 - 599 = -2099

∴ The second number is -2099
