Answer:

the two numbers are 16 and -25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y

x+y=-9

x-y=-41

By substitution

y=-9-x

x-(-9-x)=-41

x+9+x=-41

2x=-41-9

2x=-50

x=-25

y=-9-(-25)

y=16

This is called scientific notation. To simplify, just do 10 to the 7th (1 with 7 zero's behind it) to get 10,000,000 (10 million) then multiply that by 2.6 to get your final answer:
26 million or 26,000,000
