Sum of the two numbers = [tex]-5[/tex]
One of the number = [tex]3[/tex]
[tex]\sf \bf {\boxed {\mathbb {TO\:FIND:}}}[/tex]
The other number.
[tex]\sf \bf {\boxed {\mathbb {SOLUTION:}}}[/tex]
The other number is [tex]\sf\blue{-8}[/tex].
[tex]\sf \bf {\boxed {\mathbb {STEP-BY-STEP\:\:EXPLANATION:}}}[/tex]
Let the other number be [tex]x[/tex].
As per the question, we have
[tex]Sum \: \: of \: \: the \: \: two \: \: numbers = -5 [/tex]
[tex]➺ \: 3 + x = - 5[/tex]
[tex]➺ \: x = - 5 - 3[/tex]
[tex]➺ \: x = - 8[/tex]
[tex]\sf\purple{Therefore,\:the\:other\:number\:is\:-8.}[/tex]
[tex]\sf \bf {\boxed {\mathbb {TO\:VERIFY :}}}[/tex]
[tex] ➪ \: 3 + ( - 8) = - 5[/tex]
[tex] ➪ \: 3 - 8 = - 5[/tex]
[tex] ➪ \: - 5 = - 5[/tex]
➪ L. H. S. = R. H. S.
