Answer: The two possible integers are -5 and 13 or -6 and 14.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find two integers with different signs and having sum equal to 8.

Let a and b represents the two integers.

Then, we can see that

a = -5 and b = 13, then we get


a+b=-5+13=8.

And, if a = -6 and b = 14, then


a+b=-6+14=8.

Thus, the two possible integers are -5 and 13 or -6 and 14.
