In the following exercises, solve each number word

The sum of two numbers is 鈭�284. One number is 62less than the other. Find the numbers.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The number is -111and the other number is -173.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given Information  

We are given that one number is 62less than the other and their sum is -284.

We have to find the numbers.

02

Step 2. Forming the equation   

Let the number be x,

So, the other number will be x-62,

So, the equation will be,

x+x-62=-2842x-62=-284

03

Step 3. Solving the equation  

Adding 62from both sides, we get

2x-62=-2842x-62+62=-284+622x=-222

Dividing by 2,

x=-2222x=-111

The other number will be -111-62=-173,

Hence, the number is -111and the other number is -173.

04

Step 4. Checking the solution   

Putting the value of xin the equation, we get

x+x-62=-284-111-111-62=-284-284=-284LHS=RHS

Hence the solution is correct.
