Question

The sum of two numbers is -316. One number is 94 less than the other. Find the numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

-94+-316=-410

-410+94=-316

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

One number is -111 and the other is -205.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, form the equation. Since the two numbers equal -316, the equation would equal -316. The equation is as follows:

-316 = n + (n - 94).

To solve you do the following steps:

1. Remove the parenthesis. The new equation is -316 = n + n - 94

2. Combine like terms: -316 = 2n - 94

3. Move the 2n to the left side of the equation by subtracting it from both sides:

-316 = 2n - 94

-2n    -2n

-2n - 316 = -94

4. Move the -316 to the right side of the equation by adding it to both sides:

-2n - 316 = -9

     + 316   + 316

-2n = 222

5. Divide both sides by - 2

-2n/ -2 = n

222/-2 = -111

Therefore, n = -111

To get the other number, subtract 94 from -111.

-111 - 94 = -205.
