The sum of two intcgers is -6. If one of them is 2, then the other is

Answer 1

Answer:

D) -8

Step-by-step explanation:

If you add a positive and a negative, you end up subtracting. If your sum is lower than any of the numbers you are adding together, then there is a negative. In this case, your only negative number is -8, but if there were others, you could find this equation by doing negative six minus two (because the equation was originally addition, it would still be subtraction to check your work or find the answer in this case.)

Hopefully you find this useful :)

Answer 2

Answer:   -8

Step-by-step explanation:    lets take the unknown number as x,

so we have, 2 + x= -6

                 by using transposition method, x= -6-2( positive becomes  

                                                                       negative when transpositioning)

      so, x= -8
