━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

✰ Given sum of two numbers = -24

let the first number be x,

so the equation according to the question will be,

x + (-12) = - 24

x - 12 = - 24

x = -24 + 12

x = - 12

✰ Hence, option (a) - 12 is correct answer.

✰ Then, the two numbers whose sum is - 24 are : -12 and - 12
