Question

Write down a pair of integers whose:

(a)sum is− 7

(b)difference is − 10

(c)sum is 0

Answer 1

Solution:

(a) Sum is given as $-7$

Let us take a pair of integers $-8$ and $1$,

$=\text{−8 + (+1) = −7}$

(b) difference is given as − 10

Let us take a pair of integers $-12$ and $-2$

$=\text{−12 − (−2) = −10}$

(c) sum is given as $\text{0}$

Let us take a pair of integers $5$ and $-5$

$=\text{5 +(−5) = 0}$
