Question

The difference between two integers is $-22$. If one of them is $(-17)$, find the other integer.

Answer 1

Find the other integer:

The difference between two integers is $-22$

Let's take two integers are $X$and $Y$

$\Rightarrow X-Y=-22$

One of them is $(-17)$

So, take $X=-17$

$-17-Y=-22$ (take $Y$ into RHS and $-22$ will go to LHS )

$\Rightarrow Y=-17+22$ $=5$

Hence, the other number is$5$.
