Question

The sum of two numbers is -31. One number is 11 less than the other. Find the numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the numbers be x and y.

So, x - 11 = y

Also,

y + x = -31

x - 11 + x =-31

2x - 11 = -31

2x = -20

x = -10

y = -21

Answer 2

Answer:

X =10 AND Y =-21

Step-by-step explanation:

LET the two numbers be x and y.

x + y = -31 .........(i)

Also x = y + 11

Putting value of x in eq (i)

we get,

y +11 + y = -31

2y = -31 -11

y = -42 ÷ 2

y = -21

Putting value of y in x = y + 11

We get,

x = -21 +11

x = 10

THEREFORE THE VALUES OF X AND Y ARE 10 AND -21 RESPECTIVELY..
