Let x represent one number and let y represent the other number. the sum of two numbers is negative 6. if one number is subtracted from the other, their difference is 8. use the given conditions to write a system of equations. solve the system and find the numbers.

x=7 and y=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

X+Y=6 OR X=6-Y  ...(1)

X-Y=8    ...(2)

substitue X=6-Y in (2)

(6-Y)-Y=8

6-2Y=8

-2Y=8-6

-2Y=2

Y=2/-2\Y=-1 ANS.

for x, substitute Y=-1 in (1) above

X-(-1)=8

X=8-1

X=7 ANS.
