Question

The sum of two integers is -189. If one of them is 95, find the other number.

Answer 1

Answer:

Given :-

• The sum of two numbers is - 189.
• One of them is 95.

To Find :-

• What is the other number.

Solution :-

Given :

• Sum of two numbers = - 189
• One of the number = 95

Let,

$\mapsto \bf Other\: Number =\: a$

As we know that :

$\footnotesize \bigstar\: \: \: \sf\boxed{\bold{\pink{Sum\: of\: two\: Numbers =\: Other\: Number + One\: of\: the\: Number}}}\: \: \: \bigstar$

According to the question,

$\implies \sf a + 95 = - 189$

$\implies \sf a =\: - 189 - 95$

$\implies \sf\bold{\red{a =\: - 284}}$

$\therefore$ The other number is - 284 .

VERIFICATION :-

$\leadsto \tt{a + 95 =\: - 189}$

By putting a = - 284 we get,

$\leadsto \tt{- 284 + 95 =\: - 189}$

$\leadsto \tt{- 189 =\: - 189}$

$\leadsto \sf\bold{\purple{L.H.S =\: R.H.S}}$

Hence Verified .

Answer 2

$\bigstar$ Given:-

• ➼ Sum of two integers = - 189

• ➼ One of them is 95

$\bigstar$ To find:-

• ➼ The other number

$\bigstar$ Solution:-  

Let the other number be x

• ➼ x + 95 = -189

• ➼ x = -189 - 95

• ➼x = -284

∴ The other number is - 284.
