Question

Write a pair of positive and negative integers whose

(i) difference is 5 (ii) sum is (-7)​

Answer 1

Answer:

the pair of integers are -1, -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Integers be x and y

Given

x-y = 5

x= y+5

Now we also know that

x+y = -7

y+5+y= -7

2y = -12

y= -6

So

x= y+5 = -6+5 = -1

So the pair of integers are -1, -6

Answer 2

Answer:

i) 1 & (-4)

ii) 1 & (-8)

Step-by-step explanation:

i) Difference = 1 - (-4) = 1 + 4 = 5

i) Difference = 1 - (-4) = 1 + 4 = 5ii) Sum = 1 + (-8) = 1 - 8 = (-7)
