The sum of two integers is 6 and the difference between the numbers is 40. find the numbers

The equation to be solved:

x + x + 40 = 6

x = the missing number.

x + 40 = the missing number + 40 since the difference between the two is of 40.

6 = the sum of the both missing numbers.

Equation solved step-by-step:

x + x + 40 = 6

2x + 40 = 6

2x = 6 - 40

2x = -34

x = -34 / 2

x = -17

If x = -17 than the other number is equal to x + 40

x + 40 =

-17 + 40 =

23

-17 and 23 are the two missing numbers. To proove it, we will have to do the sum an see if it equals 6:

-17 + 23 = 6

Hope it helped,

Happy homework/ study/ exam!

water molecules will move from the side of higher water concentration to the side of lower concentration until both solutions are isotonic. at this point, equilibrium is reached. in an isotonic solution, the flow of water in and out of the cell is happening at the same rate.

hope this < 3
