Question

the sum of two numbers is -26. One number is 148 less than the other. Find the numbers

Answer 1

Answer:

61 and -87

Step-by-step explanation:

If the numbers are x and x - 148, we can write the following equation:

x + x - 148 = -26

2x - 148 = -26

2x = 122

x = 61 so x - 148 = 61 - 148 = -87
