Sagot :

These are two problems that fit in that description 10+(-2) AND 15+(-7)

Answer:  The two possible integers are -5 and 13 or -6 and 14.  

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find two integers with different signs and having sum equal to 8.

Let a and b represents the two integers.

Then, we can see that

a = -5 and b = 13, then we get

[tex]a+b=-5+13=8.[/tex]

And, if a = -6 and b = 14, then

[tex]a+b=-6+14=8.[/tex]

Thus, the two possible integers are -5 and 13 or -6 and 14.
