Question

The sum of two numbers is -36. Their difference is 68

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y

x + y = -36........(1)

x - y = 68..........(2)

Adding (1) and (2)

2x = 32

x = 32/2

x = 16

And x + y = -36....(1)

16 + y = -36

y = -36 - 16

y = -52

The number are 16 and -52
