Answer:

Larger is -30

Smaller is -20

Step-by-step explanation:

-50/2 = -25

difference is -10

add 5 to one number minus 5 from the other

so

-25 - 5 = -30

-25 + 5 = -20

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

be careful how you answer this

the larger number (y) = - 20

the smaller number (x) = - 30  

Think money. Which would you rather be: 20 dollars in the hole or 30 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = -50

<u>x - y =  -10</u>                             Add

2x = - 60                               Divide both sides by 2    

2x/2 = -60/2                         Do the division

x = - 30

=============

-30 - y = - 10                         Substitute - 30 for x in the second equation

-30+30- y = -10 + 30            Add 30 to both sides

-y = +20                                Divide by -1 on both sides

y = - 20
