Question

Two different pairs of negative integers, x and y, that make the statement x-y=2 true

Answer 1

-2 (-) -4 will equal 2

Answer 2

we have that

$x-y=2$

solve for y

$y=x-2$ -------> equation $1$

so

Assume a value of x and then with the equation calculate the value of y

case N 1) Assume $x=-5$

substitute in the equation $1$ and find the value of y

$y=-5-2=-7$

therefore

the answer Part 1) is

The pair of negative integers is $(-5,-7)$

case N 2) Assume $x=-10$

substitute in the equation $1$ and find the value of y

$y=-10-2=-12$

therefore

the answer Part 2) is

The pair of negative integers is $(-10,-12)$
