The difference of two integers is 9 one of them is -9 find the other

Answer 1

Greetings! Lets solve this shall we ?

So we must translate the statement given from a verbal math equation to a numerical equation such that

x - y = 9 and let one of them be -9 such that x = -9. Now we solve for the other number such that

-9 - y = 9..................Add 9 to both sides such that

+9 +9

--------------

-y = 18.................Now we divide -1 to both sides to obtain the other number such that

y = -18

I hope this helped!
