Bernita and Derek each plot a number on a number line. the numbers are unique but have the same absolute value. the sum of the absolute values of the numbers is 50. what are the two numbers

Answer 1

-25, 25

Explanation:

Since the numbers have the same absolute value and the sum of their absolute values is 50, they both must have an absolute value of 50/2 = 25.

Unique numbers with the same absolute value will have opposite signs.

The numbers are -25 and 25.
