Answer:
Answer: 3 1/2 and -10 1/2 are the two numbers.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x and y be the two unknown numbers.
x+y=-7 [Given]
x-y=14 [Given]
x-y=14 [Given]
x=y+14 [Add y to both sides]
x+y=-7 [Given]
(y+14)+y=-7 [Subtitution]
2y+14=-7 [Combine like terms]
2y=-21 [Subtract 14 from both sides]
y=-21/2 [Divide both sides by 2]
y=-10 1/2 [Division]
x-y=14 [Given]
x=y+14 [Add y to both sides]
x=-10 1/2 + 14 [Substitution]
x= 3 1/2 [Addition]
Check:
x+y=-7 [Given]
3 1/2 + -10 1/2?=-7 [Substition]
-7=-7 [Addition]
QED
x-y=14 [Given]
3 1/2 - -10 1/2?=14 [Substitution]
3 1/2 + 10 1/2?=14 [Change the sign of the subtrahend and add]
14=14 [Addition]
QED
Answer: 3 1/2 and -10 1/2 are the two numbers.
According to the associative property of equality: (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) we can see that the parenthesis do not mean anything when we are only doing addition.
So answers 1. and 3. are correct.
