Answer 2

Answer:

Concept:

• The given statement is "Sum of two number is $-24$. if the one number is $-12$ and find the other number".
• In these situations, set up equations and solve them to discover the unknown numbers.
• Let $a$ and $b$ be the two numbers and their Sum of these two numbers are $c$.
• The equation is $a + b = c$.
• Then substitute the value of $a$, $b$ and $c$, $(-12) +b = (-24)$.
• By simplifying the equation, we can get the other number.

Given:

• Sum of two numbers $= -24$

• One number $= -12$

To Find:

We need to find the other number.

Solution:

Let $b$ be the other number, Then sum of two numbers be ,

⇒  $(-12) +b = (-24)$

⇒  $b = (-24)- (-12)$

⇒  $b = (-24) + 12$

⇒  $b = -12$

Therefore, the other number is $-12$.
