Given,
Sum of two integers are 65.
One of the two integers is -31
To find ,
The other integer.
Let the required number be x.
Ok, now let's frame an linear equation in one variable from the given information .
x+(-31)=65
When we will open the brackets, the signs will change of the content inside the bracket.
x-31=65.
Now we have to solve this equation for x.
Adding same number on both sides of the equation :-
x-31+31=65+31
=> x = 96.
Hence , the required number is 96.
Verification
Simplyfying L.H.S,
96+(-31)
96-31
65.
