Answer: The numbers are -3 and 2

Step-by-step explanation:  Let x be the first number and y be the second number

then according to given statements the linear equations will be:

"Four times a number minus twice another number is -16"

"The sum of the two numbers is -1"

From equation 2:

Putting y = -x-1 in equation 1

Subtracting 2 from both sides

Dividing both sides by 6

Putting x = -3 in equation 2:

Hence,

The numbers are -3 and 2
