Answer 2

Concept:

Here we use the following integer rule.

x + (- y) = x - y

Given:

The sum of a negative integer and a positive integer is -3.

Find:

The positive and negative integer.

Solution:

Let the positive integer be x and the negative integer be y.

According to the question, we can write

x + y = - 3

Now, substitute x = 5 and y = -8 in the above equation

We get,

5 + (- 8) = - 3

5 - 8 = - 3

- 3 = - 3

L.H.S = R.H.S

Hence, the negative integer is (- 8) and the positive integer is 5.
