Question

Two integers have a difference of 6 and a sum of -18. What
are the integers?​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -6 and y = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

let the first integer = x

let the second integer = y

so, acc. to question,,

x-y = 6 ..... (1)

and x+y = -18 ..... (2)

------------

2x = -12 {by solving both}

so, x = -6

by putting it in eq. 1

-6-y = 6

-y = 12

so, y = -12

so, we get x = -6

and y = -12 ....ans.

Answer 2

Let two integers x and y

x-y=6 .... eq1

x+y=-18 ..... eq2

Adding eq 1 and 2;

2x=-12

x=-6

Put x=-6 in eq 1

-6-y=6

-y=6+6

y=-12
