Question

Find two numbers if their sum is -11 and their difference is 41

Answer 1

Answer:

The numbers are 12 and −29

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 15

y = -26

hence, the numbers are 15 and -26

Step-by-step explanation:

let's take the numbers be x and y

now, we know

=》x + y = -11

=》x - y = 41

so, if we add these equations we get,

=》x + y + x - y = -11 + 41

=》2x = 30

=》x = 30 ÷ 2

=》x = 15

replacing the value of x in the equation 1, we get :

=》x + y = -11

=》15 + y = -11

=》y = -11 - 15

=》y = -26
