So, Integers.

Integers are very simple you will learn easily!

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

Integers are the positive numbers,0 and the negative numbers. All are integers
__________________________________________________________

Remember: Fractions are not integers or any number p and q written in $\frac{p}{q}$ is not an integer.

__________________________________________________________

Now lets understand the problem.

It is said that there are 2 integers which are added together and the answer of it is -16. It is said that one among the integers is 53. And we have to find the other.
__________________________________________________________

So lets write it in its form>>>

Let the other number be x

So,

53+x=(-16)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Use the method of transposing.

x= (-16)-53
x= (-69)
_________________________________________________________

When 2 numbers are negative we add those numbers and add negative sign to the answer
_____________________________________________________________

So the answer is -69!
__________________________________________________________

Verification:

-69 +53
___________________________________________________________

One number is positive and another is negative so we subtract the numbers and put the sign of the greater number
_____________________________________________________________

So the answer is -16!

Hope this helped you :)
