Question

The sum of two integers is -16. If one of them is 53, find the other

Answer 1

Answer:

By assuming Closure property of addition [a+b=c],

Let,

a=53, assume b=x,c=−16

=53+x=−16

=x=−16−53

( By sending 53 from left hand side to the right hand side, it changes to -53)

=x=−69

By the calculation we got another integer is −69
