the sum of two numbers is-5.When twice the first number is added to the second number the result is -2,find the two numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

First write the question as an equation

x+y = -5

2x+y = -2

From the given equations, we can create a third one.

x+y+2x+y = -7 or 3x+2y = -7

Use trial and error method for the possible values x and y

We know that at least one of these two have to be negative.

x can be 1, in which case y has to be 5.

Check this for

x+y ≠ -5

x can be -1

Try another one where x = -1 and y has to equal -2

Check this

X

x+y = -5

but,

2x+y ≠ -2

Another one,

after going and makeing graphs i would go with a,

there is nothing that is matches the graph. if there was i would show you. but therefore my answer is a.

hope i
