Answer:

If both signs are positive, the answer will be positive. If both signs are negative, the answer will be negative. If the signs are different subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger absolute value. The sign will be the sign of the integer that produced the larger absolute value.

You can determine the difference by just subtracting, it's easier than you think. The difference of 20 and 10 is 10 because 20-10=10

$8y - 5 = 99 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: 8y = 99 + 5 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: 8y = 104 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: y= \frac{104}{8} \\ \: \: \: \ \: \: \: y = 13$

$\: \: \: \: \: \: 2y + x = 38.4 \\ 2(13) + x = 38.4 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: 26 + x = 38.4 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: x = 38.4 - 26 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: x = 12.4$
