------------------------------------------------------------
Define the two numbers
------------------------------------------------------------
Let one number be x and the other be y

------------------------------------------------------------
Form equations and solve
------------------------------------------------------------
x + y = -14 --------------- (1)
y - x = 12 ------------------(2)

------------------------------------------------------------
(1) + (2)
------------------------------------------------------------
2y = -2
y = -1

------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute y = -1 into (2)
------------------------------------------------------------
y - x = 12
-1 - x = 12
x = -1 -12
x = -13

------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: x = -13, y = -1
------------------------------------------------------------

ALOT OF POINTS IF YOU HELP ME PLEASE EXPLAIN ​
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Helena gave the answer as (7y²z + 6yz²- 5 - 3yz² + 2) which is equivalent to (7y²z + 3yz² - 3).

Step-by-step explanation:

Misha's group was asked to write an expression equivalent to  

7y²z + 3yz² - 3

When Mr. Chen checked their answers, he found only one to be correct.

And she was Helena.

Helena gave the answer as (7y²z + 6yz²- 5 - 3yz² + 2) which is equivalent to (7y²z + 3yz² - 3).  

Because, (7y²z + 6yz²- 5 - 3yz² + 2)

= 7y²z + (6yz² - 3yz²) - (5 - 2)  

= 7y²z + 3yz² - 3 (Answer)
