Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

let the other integer be X

according to condition,

X+(-42)=-56

X=-56+42

X=-14

Answer 2

Here it is given that the sum of two integers is -56

Also, one of the integer is -42

So, the condition can be mathematically represented as

x + ( -42 ) = -56

We have to find the other integer

Let the other integer be x

so, x + ( -42 ) = -56

                 x = -56 + 42

                 x = -14

Hence, the other integer will be -14
