The difference of two numbers is 7. The sum of the numbers is -1. What are the numbers?

I've come up with two equations:
x-y=7 and x+y=-1 but don't know what to figure it out from there since there are no numbers on the left side of the equation to work with.

No one has answered this question yet.
