The other number.


\large\mathfrak{{\pmb{\underline{\orange{Solution}}{\orange{:}}}}}


\sf\blue{The \:other \:number \:is\: -47.}


\large\mathfrak{{\pmb{\underline{\red{Step-by-step\:explanation}}{\orange{:}}}}}

Let the other number be
x.

As per the question, we have


sum \: of \: the \: two \: numbers = - 43 \\ ⇢ x + 4 = - 43 \\ ⇢ x = - 43 - 4 \\ ⇢ x = - 47


\sf\purple{Therefore,\:the\:other\:number\:is\:-47.}


\huge\bold{To\:verify :}


( - 47) + 4= - 43 \\➪ \: - 47 + 4 = - 43 \\ ➪ \: - 43 = - 43 \\ ➪ \: \: L. H. S. = R. H. S

Hence verified.
