Question

The sum of two integers is -56.If one integer is -42,find the other.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The sum of two integers =-56

One integer = -42

let the second integer be 'x'.

So,

ATQ,

-42 + x = -56

x = -56 +42

x = -14

Therefore, other number is -14

Hope it might help you❤

Answer 2

Answer :-

• The other integer is -14.

To find :-

• The other integer.

Step-by-step explanation :-

• Here, it is given that the sum of two integers is -56 and one of them is -42. We have to find the other integer.

Let the other integer be "x".

It has been given that :-

• The sum of these two integers is -56.

---------------------------------

Therefore,

$\sf x + ( - 42) = ( - 56)$

Transposing -42 from LHS to RHS, changing it's sign,

$\sf x = ( - 56) - ( - 42)$

Subtracting -42 from -56,

$\underline{ \boxed{\sf x = (- 14)}}$

• Hence, the other integer is -14.

---------------------------------

V E R I F I C A T I O N :-

To check our answer, let's add both these integers and see whether their sum is -56 or not.

Here,

• The first integer is -42.
• The second integer is -14.

Hence,

$\rm (-42) + (-14) = (-56)$

Their sum is -56.

Hence verified!
