Answer:
It can be any negative pair of numbers that when you substitute in the equation you get 2 as an answer,
For example:
x = -17 and y = -19
x= - 5 and y = -7
x= -3 and y = -5
Explanation:
Negative integers are all the negative numbers or all the numbers below 0.
So, in this case, you have to look for negative numbers that if you put in the equation you get 2.
x-y=2
In this equation it says that you need to subtract y from x, (-y), if y has to be a negative number, if, for example, we say that y = -4 then we will have this after substituting in the equation:
x - (-4) = 2
If we have two negative together multiplying like in this case - (-4) then it becomes positive:
-(-4) = +4, because equal sings make a positive.
If we substitute in the original equation we have:
x + 4 = 2
Now we can get the answer for x
x = 2-4
x= - 2
If we send y to the other side of the equation,
x= 2+y, every time we choose a negative number for y we will have a number for x that is y plus 2. This is why you can get any negative number for one variable and then substitute in this equation x= 2+y and get a result for the other variable.
