Dorsey · Answer 1

negative 6

Fritz · Answer 2

-4, 0

Step-by-step explanation:

If one number is 8 more than twice the amount of another, let's make the two numbers - 4 and 0. First, multiply - 4 by 2.

-4 * 2 = - 8

8 more than - 8 is 0.

Therefore, the rule applies and two possible numbers are - 4 and 0.
