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
