Question

The sum of two numbers is -5. When twice the first number is added to the second number the result is-2. Find the two numbers

Answer 1

EXPLANATION.

• GIVEN

sum of two number = -5

when twice the first number is added to the

second number the result = -2

TO FIND THE TWO NUMBER.

According to the question,

Let one number = x

Let another number = y

Case = 1

sum of two number = -5

=> x + y = -5 .......(1)

case = 2

when twice the first number is added to the

second number the results = -2

=> 2x + y = -2 ........(2)

From equation (1) and (2) we get,

=> -x = -3

=> x = 3

put the value of x = 3 in equation (1)

we get,

=> 3 + y = -5

=> y = -5 - 3

=> y = -8

Therefore,

Two number are = 3 and -8
