The two numbers are -6 and 7

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that eight times a number plus five times another number is -13

The sum of two numbers is 1

To find: the two numbers

Let the two numbers be "a" and "b"

From given information,

Eight times a number plus five times another number = -13

eight times a number "a" + five times another number "b" = -13

8a + 5b = -13 ---- eqn 1

Also given that sum of two numbers is 1

sum of two numbers = 1

a + b = 1 ---- eqn 2

<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2 to find values of "a" and "b"</u></em>

From eqn 2,

a = 1 - b ----- eqn 3

Substitute eqn 3 in eqn 1

8(1 - b) + 5b = -13

8 - 8b + 5b = -13

8 - 3b = -13

-3b = -13 - 8

-3b = -21

<h3>b = 7</h3>

Substitute b = 7 in eqn 3

a = 1 - 7

<h3>a = -6</h3>

Thus the two numbers are -6 and 7
