Question

The sum of two numbers is 14. Their difference is -146. Find the numbers

Answer 1

The numbers are -66 and 80.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x and y.

Sum of these two numbers is 14. Thus, we have the equation

x + y = 14 ....(i)

Now, their difference is -146. Thus,  the second equation is

x - y = -146 ....(ii)

Add (i) and (ii)

2x = -132

Divide both sides by 2

x = -66

Substitute the value of x in (i)

-66 + y = 14

y = 14 +66

y = 80

Therefore, the numbers are -66 and 80.
