Question

Write two equations:
#1 The difference between the two numbers is -10.
#2 The sum of the two numbers is -4.

Answer 1

Let's denote the two numbers as \( x \) and \( y \). Based on the conditions you've provided, we can write the two equations as follows:

1. The difference between the two numbers is -10:
\[
x - y = -10
\]

2. The sum of the two numbers is -4:
\[
x + y = -4
\]

So, the two equations are:

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