You can count backwards from 8 to -9 (8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, -1 , -2, -3, -4, -5, -6, -7, -8, -9) which is -17

The sum of two numbers is 59 and the difference is 3. What are the numbers?
ella [17]

Answer:

31 and 28

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Let x represent the first number.</u>

<u>Let y represent the second number.</u>

x + y = 59

x - y = 3

<u>Use substitution method to solve.</u>

x = y + 3

y + 3 + y = 59

2y + 3 = 59

<u>Subtract both sides by 3.</u>

2y = 56

<u>Divide both sides by 2.</u>

y = 28

<u>Let's find the second number.</u>

59 - 28 = 31

<u>Check</u>

31 -28 = 3

<u>Answer</u> The two numbers are 28 and 31.
