Answer:

• a = -14, b = -13

Step-by-step explanation:

❁ Hello! ❁

We denote the two unknown numbers by "a" and "b".

a + b = -27 => a = b - 1

a + b = -27

b - 1 + b = -27

2b - 1 = -27

2b = -27 + 1

2b = -26

b = -26 ÷ 2

b = -13

a + b = -27

a + (-13) = -27

a = -27 - (-13)

a = -27 + 13

a = -14

Success! ☺️
