Answer 2

A pair of integers whose sum is -16 is 1 and -17.

Given:

The sum of a pair of integers is -16.

To Find:

The pair of integers.

Solution:

Integers comprise the natural numbers, their additive inverses as well as 0.

Integers are those numbers that can be written without a fractional component or decimal Z.

Hence integer can have positives, negatives, and zero but not a ratio.

All the arithmetic operations - addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, can be performed on integers.

We are asked to find out a pair of integers whose sum is -16. We can find out many such integers.

Let us assume that the required numbers are x and y. Hence, in terms of an equation in two variables, we have:

x + y = -16.

Let us take x = 1.

⇒ 1 + y = -16

⇒ y = -17.

∴ A pair of integers whose sum is -16 is 1 and -17.
