Answer:
- 2 and - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
let the 2 numbers be x and y , then
x + y = - 4 → (1)
x - y = 0 → (2)
Add the 2 equations term by term to eliminate y
2x + 0 = - 4
2x = - 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = - 2
Substitute x = - 2 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y
Substituting into (1)
- 2 + y = - 4 ( add 2 to both sides )
y = - 2
The 2 numbers are - 2 and - 2
