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
<u>-2n -2n</u>
-2n - 316 = -94
4. Move the -316 to the right side of the equation by adding it to both sides:
-2n - 316 = -9
<u>+ 316 + 316</u>
-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.
