Question

Write the equations: The difference of two numbers is -10 and the sum is -4.

Answer 1

Let's let the first number be x and the second number be y.

Given that the difference of two numbers is -10, we can write the equation:

x - y = -10 ...(Equation 1)

Given that the sum of the two numbers is -4, we can write the equation:

x + y = -4 ...(Equation 2)

So, the two equations are:

x - y = -10 ...(Equation 1)
x + y = -4 ...(Equation 2)
