Question

Two different pairs of negative integers, x and y, that make the statement x-y=2 true

Please help

Answer 1

we have that

`x-y=2`

solve for y

`y=x-2` -------> equation
`1`

so

Assume a value of x and then with the equation calculate the value of y

case N 1) Assume
`x=-5`

substitute in the equation
`1` and find the value of y

`y=-5-2=-7`

therefore

the answer Part 1) is

The pair of negative integers is
`(-5,-7)`

case N 2) Assume
`x=-10`

substitute in the equation
`1` and find the value of y

`y=-10-2=-12`

therefore

the answer Part 2) is

The pair of negative integers is
`(-10,-12)`
