Sum of two integers is -278 of one of the integers is -156,find the other.
don't be scared by the awkward numbers.
If I say that the sum of two numbers is 12 and one of them is 8, how do you find the other?
8+x = 12
x = 12-8
so, just follow the same steps with your numbers.
To find the other integer when the sum of two integers is -278 and one of the integers is -156, we can use the formula:
Sum = First Integer + Second Integer
Let's substitute the given values:
-278 = -156 + Second Integer
To isolate the second integer, we can move the -156 to the other side of the equation by performing the inverse operation, which is adding 156 to both sides:
-278 + 156 = Second Integer
Simplifying the equation:
-122 = Second Integer
Therefore, the other integer is -122.
