Question

Write a pair of integers whose a)sum-1 b)diffrence is -5

please give the answer only last question in my test​

Answer 1

x = -3

y = 2

Explanation:

Let the two integers be x and y

sum is -1

x + y = -1 •••(i)

x-y = -5 •••••(ii)

From ii, x = -5 + y

substitute into i

-5 + y+ y = -1

-5 + 2y = -1

2y = -1 + 5

2y = 4

y = 4/2

y = 2

Recall;

x = -5 + y

x = -5 + 2

x = -3
