As per given by the question,

There are given that the sum of two number is -8 and their dufferences is 44.

Now,

Let the two number is, x and y

Then,

The sum of two number is -8.

So,


x+y=-8\ldots..(1)

And,

Their differences is 44.

So,


x-y=44\ldots(2)

Now,

For find the value of two number, x and y

From equation (2)


\begin{gathered} x-y=44 \\ x=44+y\ldots(3) \end{gathered}

Put the above value of x into the equation (1).

So,


\begin{gathered} x+y=-8 \\ 44+y=-8 \\ 44+y-44=-8-44 \\ y=-52 \end{gathered}

Now,

Put the value of y into the equation (2)

So,


\begin{gathered} x-y=44 \\ x-(-52)=44 \\ x+52=44 \\ x=44-52 \\ x=-8 \end{gathered}

Hence, the number is shown below:


x=-8\text{ and y=-52}
