Question

The sum of two integers is 16 if one of them is 53 find the other one​

Answer 1

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

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :  

The sum of two integers is -6.  

If one of them is 53.  

To prove :  

Find the second number  

Solution :  

Let m, n are two integers .  

m = 53 ( given )  

Sum of two integers = -16  

=> m + n = -16  

=> 53 + n = -16  

Subtract 53 from both sides of the equation, we get  

=> -53 + 53 + n = -53 - 16  

=> n = -69

Therefore,  

Required second integer (n)=-69
