The difference of two numbers is 3. their sum is - 24. find the numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:First number=--13.5

2nd number is - 10 ... 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent the numbers by x and y

X-y=3

X+y=-24

Solve for xand y.

Solve. for y

-2y=3 - (-) 24

-2y=-3+24

-2y=27

-Y=27/2

Y=13.5

Solving for X

X-y=3

x-y=3

X - (-13.5=3

X+13.5=3

X=3-13.5

X=-10.5

X=-10.5 y=-13.5
