Question

The sum of two integers is -56. If one integer is -42, find the other. The difference between an integer x and (-9) is 6. Find all possible values of x​

Answer 1

Answer:

It is given that

The difference between an integer x and (−9) is 6

x−(−9)=6 or −9−x=6

So the value of x is

x−(−9)=6 or −9−x=6

By further calculation

x+9=6 or −x=6+9

So we get

x=6−9 or −x=15

Here

x=−3 or x=−15

• Therefore , possible values of x are −3 and −15
